Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for April 24, 2015

I agree with Sergio on this one. Besides, I don’t think the other kids wanted to volunteer in the experiment in the first place.

Does she know who Newton was?

Always make sure your victims – I mean subjects – agree to be part of the experiment.

Gracie, experimenting on non-consenting humans is frowned upon. I’m sure you read that somewhere.

For that to work properly the ‘balls’ have to be in contact when at rest. She should know that.

The way they’re hanging means it won’t work, either. Too much ability to move out of the line, and deflect the momentum elsewhere.

All in all, Gracie’s making a whole lot of mistakes.

I must say I’m impressed at her ability to hold that one kid over her head, though.

Oh no!

Most importantly, the children should be inelastic.

normally gracie is a little more careful of people than this. c&c have gotten carried away emphasizing the girl genius at the expense of showing that she’s still thoughtful of people

I thought Gracie was smarter than that. The contact point is not hard enough to transfer the energy. Her grandiose expectations for herself makes me forget she is a little kid.

Sly reference to the “butterfly effect”?
