how did having the strength of ten men equate to having about a ton? how do you quantify the math for this?


** FridgeLogic comes in when you realize that comes out to equal about a ton. Clark (who is most likely Naman) ends up being able to [[spoiler: move planets!]]

* [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] in ''Literature/TheSnowQueen'': When they take shelter with an old woman who apparently has some sort of magic powers, Gerda's reindeer begs her to give Gerda "the strength of twelve men" so she can rescue her friend form the SnowQueen. The woman points out that wouldn't do any good, since they're dealing with MoreThanMindControl here, and brute force can't help them with that, but Gerda already has [[ThePowerOfLove the only power]] that can save Kai from choosing to be the Snow Queen's prisoner forever.
