you have enough paint to fill it but you dont have enough paint to cover its surface area.

PRO TIP YOU CAN'T

Volume is (unit)^3
Surface is (unit)^2

Paint is a real life thing, thus 3dimentional, little brainlet.

what's the paint layer thickness?

Make the volume of revolution out of semi permiable material

The paint used for the volume will seap out and paint the surface

The base of the hat is flat, so it wouldn't count to the volume but would to the area.

Did I get it? Can I call my mom?

Same goes for Koch snowflake:
The boundary of koch snowflake is infinite so you need an infinite amount of paint to paint it, yet you can just flood the area with a finite amount of paint...

What dumbery is this.

Also picture a standard star. Make the branches very thin, but very long. Use it as the "base" of a tube.
You'll realise your tube has very low volume compared to its surface, and that you'd have no problem to fill it with a little paint (if you don't have enough paint, juste make the branches even thinner and the "center" thinner too), but that wouldn't be enough to paint the surface...

In reality if you can cover the entire surface area with 1/3 of the paint inside, or even 1/5th of the surface area if you dilute it with water.

i'll add this to my list of math flaw, thanks.

>> No.8838700 [DELETED] 

>>8838665
In the real world, it's filled once the radius of the tapering end goes below ~~ 1 nm (depending on the size of the paint molecule).

But to paint the surface you have to add an infinite number of paint molecules to that taper.

So, is it really a flaw?

>> No.8838759

>>8838700
filling is the same as painting inside instead of outside plus filling the hole inside. if you can paint it inside you can paint it outside.

>> No.8838771

>>8837913
lmao

>> No.8838826

Paint has thickness. For the portions of the object that has less thickness than minimal paint layer there can be no paint inside that part of the container. The flaw arises when assuming paint can fill any crevice and failing to realize that for most of the object the volume is far less than the needed paint thickness.
For the snowflake, at some 'zoom level' you will just fill out the area with paint. (At least the surface is coarse and the paint will stick good.)
