Hello, SFIA audio listeners. In this month's Nebula exclusive, big alien theory,

we're asking the reason alien civilizations might be rare is because most aliens are huge.

To hear it and every episode early and ad-free, plus hours of bonus content,

check out go.nebola.tv slash Isaac Arthur and use my code, Isaac Arthur.

Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to the live stream Q&A session here on SFIA.

We'll take your questions live from the chat, and my wife relays them to me, and we go ahead and answer them as best as we can.

As usual, Sarah Foul author, my beloved co-host, will be getting your questions out from there,

but the mods that normally help out with that aren't online just yet, so we may be going a little bit slow.

Also, someone asked right before we got started, if we come up with a physics-based game to get a special answer in there,

and I went with an ordy in a classic, if one-and-half chickens lay one-and-a-half eggs in one half days. How many chickens do nine, sorry, how many eggs

do nine chickens lay in nine days? So if you can answer that, and I don't think it was actually

put in the answer yet, you'll get your question special answered. Do we have any get started?

We have a few answers so far, but as you already mentioned, they're not correct. We had a few guesses

at nine, the trick question, that half chickens can't lay half eggs, which is trickily true.

Someone that would like to see a half a chicken lay half of an egg.

We're looking for the mathematician's answer, not the engineer

or physicist's answer on this one.

For all purposes today, one and a half chickens can lay one to half eggs.

And someone else said they're craving chicken and eggs, so I'm wondering, you know,

what happens if in that nine-day period someone eats some of them?

We don't actually been to theaffle House together, have we?

It actually is one in the air. What's that have to do with chicken and eggs?
