I'm not sure that I could pull off creating that much Jello. You'd have to have a giant boiler to mix up the batches then pour it into a swimming pool in the winter time so it would set up. By my quick calculation, it would take 1.3 million 3 oz. boxes of Jello to create enough Jello to fill a 750 cubic meter pool (25m x 10m x 3m). I think this experiment might have to be performed on a smaller scale.
My friends and I have had an argument similar to this for a few years now and we can't seem to come to a conclusion. If you filled a swimming pool full of Jello and let it gel then jumped into it and sank to the bottom, would you be able to swim yourself out?
