This speaks volumes!!!

^^^^^^^^
Aarrrgghhh!

It just doesn't seem obvious that if one cubic yard is 3 by 3 by 3, that 10 cubic yards is only a little over 6 by 6 by 6 - but it is!

1x1x2700?

it's 2

10 cy = 270 ft^3

so if all dimensions of the volume are to be equal

270 ft^3 = x^3

cube root ;-)

Remember that roots can be written as powers....;)

square root x^(1/2)

hence

cube root x^(1/3)

so

you can solve this

270^(1/3)

which on my droid calculator is

6.463304

I have noticed some funky rounding errors using the phones calculator...

sure it ain't 27 cubic feet?

Eureka!

Let's ask the people who really know:

Wait, when did they start making fat and ugly girls Miss anything?
Must be part of that diversity inclusiveness PC training, we aren't allowed to discriminate against ugly in beauty contests anymore ;)

Or maybe it's just the incredible level of stoopid that makes them so hideous to me, either way.

Uhh, the video is a parody of a real question/answer session with real-world contestants and inane responses:
