Question 67067: The average mouth produces about 2 1/2 pints of saliva a day. David tried to test this hypothesis, and he did not swallow his saliva at all, but let it all drool into a 4-gallon bucket instead. How long before the bucket was full?

Well, do you know how many pints are in a gallon?
Answer: 8 pints per gallon
So, how many pints of saliva could be put into your 4-gallon bucket before it is filled?
Answer: 32 pints of saliva
So then take 32 pints of saliva divided by your 2.5 pints of saliva a day, and what do you get?
Answer: 1 week 5.8 days.
I wouldn't drool that long if my life depended on it.
