I want people answering this question to know that nothing else can be put into making the boat other than the aluminum foil, so I hope you can understand this before making an answerI hope you can give me the steps.
Does it have to float on water? How about mercury-a crescent wrench will float on liquid mercuryYou can't fit 120 pennies on a 3.5 millimeter square regardless if floating or notIs this a riddle where you can change 100 pennies for a dollar bill? UPDATE: With 35cm x 35 cm, I was able to do it in my bathtubHere are the steps1) Cut the foil to the dimensions 2) fold the piece diagonally in half-the crease will be from one corner to the other corner diagonally across the square3) Now you have a triangleTurn it so the long side is on the bottomFind the middle point of the longest sideIt should be directly below the top point4) Make another fold.Touch the bottom right corner up to the top pointMake it so what used to be the right half of the bottom edge, is nowrunning between the top corner and the midpoint of the bottom side5) Do the same on the leftYou should now have a diamond shape6) Stick your fist inside the layer that is the furthest back and form a cone shapeDon't poke any holes in it7) Have a deep tub of water ready-this ship is gonna have a deep draft8)Stick about 10 pennies in the bottom of your cone before you launch herThis will provide ballast for balance, keeping the point of the cone down9) Once she's afloat, start dropping pennies in one by one until you've counted out your 120.
you are correctShape has nothing to do with Density.
