Answer 5

Here is some research that I found.. the link is below but here is the conclusion..

The data suggests that it takes approximately 505 licks to reach the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop when alternating the l*****g side. Since the procedure calls for equal l*****g of both sides of the Tootsie Roll Pop and completion is determined by core contact on either side, one could reach the core with fewer licks by focusing on only one side of the Tootsie Roll Pop. If one were to select the side closer to the core, it would theoretically require approximately 253 licks to reach the center.

The data also suggests a substantial variability in the number of licks required to reach the center, with a standard deviation of 167 licks for two sided l*****g and 84 for single side l*****g

Answer 10

Ugh, you're killing me. It would have been a great post if you would have got it right.

It's Tootsie POP, not Tootsie roll. Tootsie rolls are those little chocolate things.

You FAIL.
