I reject that argument mike!

You have to be traveling at 80mph... Not .9 lightspeed :D

Lmao!!

but I traveled 80miles in 1hr (on my watch), so that is 80 MPH! :puzzled: ;-)

No, you traveled 80 miles in "just over 2 1/4 hours"

Ahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!

Come on guys! Just whack it in half!

OK OK... I will concede that I traveled 80 miles in just over 2 1/4 hours on my watch, as long as you concede that on your watch I traveled 80 miles in 1hr :wee: :singing: :saint:

Bob is right- it was prob closer to 40mph ;-) ;-)

LOL

i vowed never to whack anything in public forums!! So i respectfully refuse bobby's offer... and mike i will agree depending on how broke your watch is, will determine a relative speed

somehow going .9 lightspeed and 80mph at the same time is a new one to me.....



who knew such a void of intelligence, would spur such (dare i say) deep and abstract thought... lol!

Well you know, it's all relative ;-)

That is just what she would say....priceless!!!!

Did you see this lovely couple made GMA this morning?????

"If you were in your car traveling at the speed of light....and then you turned on your headlights....would they do anything?"
:wee::wee:

OK OK- the guys in my office and I haven't been able to stop playing this video and laughing so hard that we cry since this thread started. We've taken to saying "Just whack it in half" to just about any problem/situation who's solution is not immediately obvious, and we've now spawned a game whereby we are going to come up with tricky questions to ask each other and film ourselves trying to answer.

Today we had the first question- asked to me, and although no video on this one I have to say I muttered 1 or two stupid things before getting the right answer :puzzled:

So for all of you who feel smug watching poor Chel work out that problem- give this one a try. The rules are simple- no paper, and no help.


If you are going 80mph, how long would it take you to travel 1 mile?

I think the simple answer, Mike, would be a wild a$$ guess at 40 seconds, how'd I come up with that? I whacked it in half!
But the real answer of course is 45 seconds.

nice Bob! :bigok:

and a wonderful illustration of just how effective "whacking it in half" can be when you're pressed for time

The fact that these two made national TV makes me really glad I do not have TV. :ticking:
Mike I'm glad you mentioned the air pressure thing. Becouse we all know that planes fly slower than a police car if the tires are flat.:o
I find myself wondering if this girl is really this lost or if it was an act?

I have to say- as much grief as we're giving Chelsea (all well deserved by the way), at least she was trying. Most of the kids I have in class would just give up and say "I dunno."

For all of her bizarre conclusions and confusions at least this girl was working the problem... I just wish they had captured the part where she arrived at 400 rev/mile for the tires- that was probably awesome
