How many cups of coffee would it take for a 200 lb person to reach their LD50 of caffeine if they had a 12 fl oz cup and there was 100 mg of caffeine per 6.0 fl oz cup?

The ld50 for humans varies depending on sensitivity of the person- between 150 and 200 mg per kilogram of weight. Using the lower value, that would be over 68 of the 12 oz cups in a very short period of time. Unlikely to happen, as ingestion of 6.3 GALLONS of coffee in a short time frame (half hours) is almost impossible.


Does the speed of sound depend on whether it is made by an airplane or person snapping their fingers?

No, but the speed of sound can be changed by the Doppler effect. Such that if the plane is coming towards you it will reach you faster then if it was traveling away from you. Same with the snapping, if a person was coming towards you it would reach you faster, if moving away would reach you slower.

What has more caffeine a cup of black coffee or a cup of coffee prepared light and sweet Why would there be a difference?

A Cup of Black Coffee has much more caffeine. ^^ Are you stoned, or just stupid? Why in HELL would adding milk and sugar decrease the content of a chemical present since BEFORE the coffee was prepared? If you spill some out to make room, sure there'd be less caffeine - but the difference in volume is barely perceptible.
