According to a doctor quoted in the article, "The human body can absorb currents up to 12.0 volts. In this case, however, repeated exposure to electricity seems to have built up ["Current Baba's"] body's tolerance levels to as much as 16.0 volts." Since "Current Baba" was after the maximum "intoxication," he should have his body wet. In that case, how much current would he get with each jolt? (The resistance of the
