Bender's made of ...

[on:]

I was wondering about a strange thing about  Bender, don't know if it's already been discussed...

According to him, he's 40% Zn and 40% Ti. But he's also 30% Fe (iron). Now, according to my math knowledge, this doesn't make much sense since this sums up to a 110%... So, is Bender something like a superbot?     

(There's also something Farnsey says in A Pharaoh To Remember, but I can't remember  )

i think this has already been discussed

40% Titanium
30% Iron
40% Zink
40% Dolomite

I guess it's another way to say Larger Than Life.

A .04% nickel impurity and some osmium as well.

The way I see it is : We see various parts of Bender get broken or damaged during the course of the series.  He gets replacements that are made of different alloys, and so explains the disparities %ages of metals over time.

It's spelled Zinc.

And yeah he is made up of way too much.

I guess whenever there's something about metal, he just says he's made 40% of it 

[Reply #7 on:]

Dolomite isn't a metal it's a sediment.

Explanation: Bender is 50% magic and this allows him to add up to more than 100%. Possibly.   

[Reply #9 on:]

lol.  made of magic! just like the applied cryogenics building!

Jolly Mon: I know dolomite isn't a metal, I was saying it more generally 

[Reply #11 on:]

Wow I had no idea that Dolomite was a real material, it just sounds like a funny made up name.

[Reply #12 on:]

You feed it to farm animals.

[Reply #13 on:]

maybe Bender is just LYING about percentage...
He lies about everything
Why not percentage?

the elves are back today.hooray....

I think it's just cartoon logic! 

[Reply #16 on:]

^you're probably right.

[Reply #17 on:]

i think that anything science cant explain is......magic....just like bender and the 0.4 nickel impuurity is what makes bender, bender

[Reply #18 on:]

That's deep, man.

[Reply #19 on:]

I have no strong feelings one way or the other.

It's dolomite baby!

Yeah, his ass did explode.

Are we all forgetting that he's made of candy!

Congrats to Cube_166 for coming up with a plausible explanation for this mystery! 

[Reply #23 on:]

Are we ever going to stop blaming the wizards? 

May be after being electroshocked in SP3K, Bender just thinks that integer consists not of 100% but of smothing more, like 150%?

[Reply #25 on:]

Its the future, perhaps percentages, or math altogether has changed. And it is not possible to have more than 100% of something.

Or maybe the other 10% is metaphorical iron. Like.. inner Iron. The iron inside each and every one of us. Inner strength..

What??? It makes sense...
