How Large does Alice Grow

After drinking the potion and shrinking to a miniscule size Alice realizes she forgot the key to the door on the table.
To remedy this problem, Alice finds some cookies and takes a bite. This causes her to become humongous.
Let's find out how large Alice becomes!

Alice Crying

To solve this problem we will use kinematics equations and geometric proportions of the human body.

In this scene, Alice is sitting cross-legged and is crying because of her helpless situation. We will use the time her tears take to reach the ground to estimate the height of her eye and use human proportions to calculate her height.

  After reviewing the footage I measured the tear taking 2.4 seconds to reach the ground.
By measuring the height of my eye while sitting down and comparing it to my standing height I determined that the appropriate coefficient for her standing height to her seated height is 5/2. With this information i developed the following equation.

Equation 2

Therefore we can conclude that Alice grows to 141 meters tall!
