Eight's weight.
Alright guys. I might be insane, but we're doing this.
In the JacknJellify subscriber milestone videos, it is stated, and confirmed to be canon that Eight (algebralien) is made of pure lead.
So, with this being, I've decided to calculate their weight based on mostly accurate (I hope) scientific data and mathematical formulas. Why? I have issues. and a burning passion for math at this particular moment in time. Let's begin, shall we?
Now, I bet you've scrolled by now, but I just need to get this down whether people like this or not. It just has to be done. Keep in mind, I live in America, so we still use the imperial system. For all my metric using folks, my sincere apologies if you're actually reading this.
The formula I have put together is this:
In other words, per cubic in of lead (Pb, just the periodic table abbreviation of the element "lead") is equal to 6.57 oz. That's 709 pounds per cubic foot.
I've figured out the weight of this incredibly heavy substance, sure, but what about the subject themself, Eight? How much "Eight" are we dealing with, here?
Well, the accuracy of this delves into headcanons, so some people may or may not agree with me here. I try to keep my designs mostly based on canon, and it has been confirmed by Cary that algebraliens are actually not human sized.
Source for said fact: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zptatZhzas (Cary reacts to 'thanks for 800,000 subs!')
around 6:08 he pauses the video, and mentions the algebraliens are "not human sized" so it would be easier for Seven to get stuck in the tree.
Sources for my headcanons aside, we now know about how much we're looking at here.
I've measured Eight's body in two spheres. The top sphere (sphere x) is their head. The bottom sphere (sphere y) is their body. I didn't count limbs here, assuming they're fleshy, and not lead, and measuring the weight of those would be a whole nother thing. I measured Eight's height to be around 2 1/2ft here, so that's the dimensions I'm sticking with.
Starting with calculating the weight of sphere x:
The diameter of sphere x: 11 1/2 in. the radius (r) is simply half of that, so we end up with 5.75 (rounded to nearest hundredth). order to find the spherical area of this shape, we're gonna need to set up a formula like this.
that's the formula for spherical area. Once we punch in our known values, we get this:
which in turn gives us 415.48in. We now know the area of sphere x.
Now, we do the same thing for sphere y. Setting up our formula same as previously, we get the area of sphere y as 530.93. Fyi, I measured out the diameter of sphere y to be approximately 13in. , so I punched in the radius of that.
To refresh: We now have our values of sphere x and sphere y's area. We can now figure out just how much that weighs!
Using our formula from earlier to convert a certain area of volume into weight by the density of lead, we get our respective equations for both areas:
M Ax= 415.48in x 6.57oz per cubic inch of lead
(Mass of area of sphere x is equal to 6.57oz per cubic inch times our area)
M Ay= 530.93in X 6.57oz per cubic inch of lead
(Mass of area of sphere y is equal to 6.57oz per cubic inch times our area)
And so for both spheres that make up our model estimate of eight's body, we end up with
M Sx= 170.2 lbs
M Sy= 217.5 lbs
SO with our crazy calculations and whirls of numbers and symbols, we've ended up with an estimated weight of 387.71 lbs.
Holy moly! Eight! you weigh quite a lot! No worries, though, and no shame! They are pure lead, after all.
TL;DR...
teenage nerd uses math and science to estimate the weight of algebralien "Eight" from the BFB series, belonging respectively to JackandJellify on Youtube, and the BFDI franchise.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
and thanks for sticking around this long! I had fun with how hard this worked my brain, and even though my estimates might be off, this was fun!

So y'all seen jacknjellfy's new sub vid right??
First, congrats to jacknjellfy for hitting 1,500,000 subscribers and awesome video!
So there were really funny parts and stuff all good stuff
But there was maybe one part that made me feel things...
But overall an amazing vid and again congrats jacknjellfy!!!
They talk???

so i did some extremely rough math.
i did not put in much effort because i didn’t want to. i went with cary’s statement that the standee at the bfdi x ii meetup is a life size four, and he said it’s like 4 feet tall, so i just did all the calculations assuming four is exactly 4 feet tall.
i’m getting a rough estimate. my standards are low.
i cropped screenshots, compared image resolutions, used that side view of x from bfb 1 to find out how thick an algebralian is, and well.
assuming the following are all true:
four is 4 feet tall
all algebralians have the same depth/thickness as x
eight is actually made of pure lead
the screenshots i used to compare heights and widths of four, x, and eight are reliable
then eight would be somewhere around over 5000 pounds.
i did this because i four, nine, and seven have all been shown to be strong enough to carry eight.
in conclusion:
FOUR, NINE, AND SEVEN ARE RIPPED AS FUCK
