    Is this the average for people living today or like for a "normal" ideal body weight/size?

    "The "normal" body surface area is generally taken to be 1.7 m2 but, in actual fact, the body surface area depends on more than just height and weight. Other influential factors include the age and gender of the individual"

    1.7 m² = 18.299246501615 ft²

    The ice cream would probably be ¼ inch tall if evenly spread.

    and.... math.

    Ft3=18.29924 ft2 x 0.02083333 ft, so x=.38 ft3 of ice cream, which is equivalent to 11.37 quarts of ice cream
    Average quart of vanilla ice cream is 137 cal, so 137x11.37 = 1557.69 calories.

    BAM!

    Wow, thanks!

    But I will say this, I know very well that a quart of ice cream doesn't have 137 kcal (I wish). 137 is for 1/2 cup of ice cream.
    One quart of ice cream contains equivalent to four cups of ice cream or 8 servings of ice cream. so 137 x 8 = 1096.
    So 1096 x 11.37 = 12,461.52 kcal

    Does it depend on how hot they are? It would melt faster and then you'd have to reapply more layers

    Damn that's a really good point. I spent the majority of my day doing the math and now I'm gonna have to reassess!!!!
