How many calories you need to get to Mordor Bashny.Net

Among the fans of the saga "The Lord of the Rings" many scientists and students. Sometimes it is very clever people want to escape from the serious work and do something fun. For example, to calculate the exact amount of energy that is spent with friends, Frodo, is reached Mordor.

In the past colleagues documented the amount of water drunk friends during the trip (including two seats with drinking water during the journey, at the beginning of the hobbits had to take on the 24 liters of water per ). Now it's time to count calories. Calculation of the students completed the University of Leicester (England). It turned 1780214 59 kcal .

The methodology and exact calculations published in the "Journal of the interdisciplinary research» (Journal of Interdisciplinary Science Topics) - a special "training" magazine where students learn scientific methods of testing on random topics.

As a result of painstaking calculations documented all the physical action of the characters during the 92-day trek to Mordor. In a group of nine travelers calories burned are calculated separately for each individual: the four hobbits, three people, one an elf and a dwarf.

To calculate the applied model of the metabolic processes of each being composed by the same researchers in the framework of previous research (Manoharan, K. & Rosetti, S. (2015) & quot; Modelling the BMR of Species in Middle Earth & quot ;, Journal of Interdisciplinary Science Topics, 4).

Members of the Fellowship of the Ring
Frodo Baggins - the chief curator of the ring
Samwise Gamgee - his servant, gardener
Peregrin Took and Meriadoc Brandybuck - Frodo's relatives and his companions
Gandalf the Grey - a member of the White Council, the magician-Istari
Gimli - the dwarf of Erebor
Legolas - elven prince of Mirkwood
Aragorn - the heir of Isildur and the royal throne of Gondor and Arnor
Boromir - captain of Gondor

The scientific work carried out an assessment of caloric precious lembas - elven Khlebtsov nutrients that are not stale and do not lose their taste over time. Now we know that in every loaf contains approximately 2638, 5 calories.

When calculating the metabolism of all nine characters take into account the saturation of oxygen in the atmosphere of Middle-earth, the activity of travelers (sleep duration, time, distance, taking into account the difference in the length of the pitch people and hobbits, food) and the distance traveled, which is thoroughly described and mapped by the author J. R. P . Tolkien.



It turned out that a daily diet consisted of about hobbits 1818 61 calories, people - 1702 kcal 2 and elves missed and 1416, 95 kcal.

As result it was found out that the trip to the foot of the Flaming Mountains friends took 675 Khlebtsov lembas, if not to take into account the death of Gandalf in Moria.
