Bender's made of ...

[:]

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  )

[#1 :]

i think this has already been discussed

[#2 :]

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

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

[#3 :]

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

[#4 :]

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.

[#6 :]

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

[#7 :]

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.   

[#9 :]

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

[#10 :]

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

[#11 :]

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

[#12 :]

You feed it to farm animals.

[#13 :]

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

[#14 :]

the elves are back today.hooray....

[#15 :]

I think it's just cartoon logic! 

[#16 :]

^you're probably right.

[#17 :]

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

[#18 :]

That's deep, man.

[#19 :]

I have no strong feelings one way or the other.

It's dolomite baby!

[#20 :]

Yeah, his ass did explode.

[#21 :]

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

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

[#23 :]

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%?

[Gocad]Behold! SCRIPT LOGIC!!![/Gocad]

[#25 :]

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...
