Those familiar with Yahoo! Answers know that it has provided more laughs than information and more useless banter than thought-provoking discussion. Those unfamiliar with it should see it as a magical place where all those crazy questions dancing inside your skull become everybody’s to ponder. And by everybody, we mean everybody on the Internet.

Today we bring you quite possibly the greatest tactical pants-related questions ever posed.

Posted a week ago, this question is also one of the strangest that’s been asked to the community. Filed under “resolved,” the question involves six pairs of tactical pants and a truckload of Vegemite. What is Vegemite, you ask? Vegemite appears to be all the rage in Australia. Wikipedia describes it as a dark brown food paste made from yeast extract. Uh, yum?

So, what’s the question again? Yahoo user Hermie wants to know how much Vegemite his six pairs of tactical pants can hold. He writes, “Unfortunately, jars of Vegemite are not readily available for purchase in the US, so I will have to outsource that order from Australia. Not having a Vegemite jar in my possession at the time, I had to blindly buy the tactical pants, hoping to achieve the storage I was looking for.”

Yet, he fails to answer one burning question: What do tactical pants have to do with Vegemite storage? And if he wants to carry the paste in pants he’s currently donning, why on earth does he need six pairs?! The whole point of tactical pants is to be able to store all your gear in one pair of pants — namely the pair you’re wearing at the time.

During the four-day answering period that every question is given, Hermie’s dilemma garnered two responses. According to Mountain Baby’s post, Hermie asked a few other questions on this topic. “Why would you just wear pants around the house with vegemite in them, ad (sic) why would you need more than one pair of pants to do this with,” she asks. Good questions!

However, the best answer (not just more questions) came from Gorkbark, who estimated that you could carry 12 jars of Vegemite per tactical pant. “It would be a bit bulky, but you can manage,” he wrote.

Now let’s do the math: 12 X 6 = 72. So, six pairs of tactical pants will carry 72 jars of Vegemite. There you have it, folks! Although, we think the real question is: What’s he gonna do with all that Vegemite?
