Mythbusters: There's Your Problem

The MythBusters dive into six water-related myths, finding out how far bullets can penetrate water; whether hitting the surface is really the same as hitting concrete; and if walking on water is possible using ninja technology. They also find out the best way to escape from a sinking car; if a shipwreck can be raised with ping pong balls; and if a sinking ship can suck you down with it.

The MythBusters first light up three fire-related myths, finding out who wins in a battle of flamethrower versus ice crystal gun; if wine bottles can cause a truck fire; and if a cannon packed with sawdust could produce a raging fireball. Then they flip the switch to "freeze" to discover: can a boat be built from ice? And could a functioning cannon be made from ice?

An explosive episode in which the MythBusters investigate if gummy bears can be used as rocket fuel; whether an overheating water heater can become a rocket; if a surfboard can be powered with rockets; if a bullet dropped and a bullet fired vertically down both hit the ground at the same time; if a bullet can be fired around a corner and if a gun barrel bent at 90 degrees can fire a lethal round.

The MythBusters test if falling glass can slice you in two; if a lawn mower can propel a stone with fatal force; if a tissue box on the car back shelf can kill you in a crash; if a cannon can be made from a tree trunk; if an ancient torpedo design can be recreated; and if 200 arrows can be fired at once from a 15th century style weapon called a Hwacha.

The MythBusters investigate six myths about pressure. They build a pressure cannon to see if a ping pong ball impact could be fatal. They also test the affect of water pressure on a deep sea diver, find out if firehose pressure is enough to lift a car; if a bullet can be fired in space; if a vacuum cleaner can lift a car; and if steam followed by rain can cause a railroad tanker car to implode.

The MythBusters discover if a swing can go full circle; if a seesaw hit by a skydiver can become a catapult; and if you can launch from a giant waterslide into a paddle pool and survive. They also put the pedal to the metal to find out if its possible to dodge a sniper's bullet; if going in reverse is feasible in a car chase; and if a car can be skipped like a stone across a pond.

Investigating three myths about electricity and three myths about friction, the MythBusters test if you can be electrocuted by lightning while talking on the phone; if a stun-gun could use water instead of wires; if peeing on the electrified rail of a subway line could give you a fatal shock and if a banquet tablecloth can be pulled off by a super-charged motorcycle.

The MythBusters delve into the shockwaves and the laws of motion, testing if an underwater explosion can be survived by diving deep; if an explosive wave can be surfed; if the design of a trench can help reduce a shockwave's deadly force; if a Newton's Cradle can be supersized with wrecking balls and if a bullet impact can make you fly backwards.

The MythBusters drop into the science of falling and rising, finding out if a skydiver can streamline like Keanu in Point Break; if a penny dropped from the Empire State Building could kill you; if jumping could help you survive an elevator accident; if paint - not hydrogen - caused the Hindenburg disaster and if party balloons could act as an airbag for a car of crashing clowns.

People and animals are the focus for the MythBusters as they delve into whether fear can really give you cold feet; if it's impossible to walk in a straight line while blindfolded; if flatulence can be fatal; if elephants are afraid of mice; if bloodhounds can be thrown off the scent; and if bulls really are attracted to red.
