2-4 cups a day breathing?

I got it from a respirologist that it was 135 ml over 8 hrs
(sleeping) for 160 lb person in -5 C temp. I posted the calculations.

Why not back up your assertions with data instead of criticising?

The OP, Courtney, did find his answer btw, and he also was pleased
with my calculation of water produce by burning propane in a cat.
type heater.

I don't see why this outcome should annoy you so much and you have to
keep being sanrky

Uhm, I did post a clarification, (and a smiley face, which changes
everything, doesn't it?) but it's not here for some reason......my
point was not to be snarky, but rather, to point out, in my own,
abstract fashion, that Courtney's question was not answered by that
elaborate calculation. Furthermore (and to add to the crime) three
cups of water in six hours in insignificant. Consider that the average
human expels 2 to 4 cups of water a day, just by breathing, but the
condensation of same is largely dependant on ventilation. If you had
sufficient ventilation, these AND the three might be expelled right
out the window, not to mention that when you awaken, the opening and
closing of doors alone will increase the rate of evaporation,
rendering those three cups of water even more insignificant.
It's comical that Sullivan, the 'not a math guy,' gave the best, and
only, applicable answer, while everyone else, including the OP, lost
sight of the original question. Now that's snarky.
