Just a warped point of view, but mathematics (or one if its applied offspring) is, for me, frequently what puts the fun in.


So.

The Matterhorn is 147 feet tall or 44.8 meters. The castle at it's tallest is 77 feet. Let's say that the short spire near the Matterhorn is half that or 11.5 meters).

Jumping straight out from the top of the Matterhorn (to maximize lateral velocity) it will take 2.6 seconds to fall those 33.3 meters. To travel 276 feet (84.1 meters) in that time you'd have to jump out with a speed (ignoring wind resistance) of 72 miles per hour.
My brain hurts.
