ok i will try to make this as easy as i can with my shiznitty typing and i'll try to keep the math simple..
ok first i will give you a simple problem to solve.. see if you can figure it out.. it will be real easy but most will be wrong and will say my answer is lame but it will be corect..
then after a few people post their answers i will give a real life one of the example i just gave.. i want to see if people on here are smarter then the people i work for..
exsample 1.. i drive a heavy duty truck.. if i start from a dead stop then drive say 180 miles "90 miles each way" at 60 miles an hour thats as fast as the truck goes.. how long will it take to to go from point A to point B and back to point A again?
the bonus for this question is like i said simple!!! no real life stuff to stop you.. no traffic, no slow moving vehicles to dodge, no stop signs, no stop lights,no speed limits other then as fast the truck will go..
please take the time to answer the question
and then we will move on to question number two. real life.. driving on real life streets and opstacles..
thank you for you time..
Nick
Nick: 3 hours " fantasy" time
The explination to the answer is if you drive 180 miles at 60 MPH... it is:
60 MPH x 3 hours = 180 miles.
Or
180 miles / 60 MPH = 3 hours time
'i drive a heavy duty truck.. if i start from a DEAD stop then drive say 180 miles "90 miles each way" at 60 miles an hour thats as fast as the truck goes.. how long will it take to to go from point A to point B and back to point A again?'
that depends on the accelleration of the truck, if it started the 180 mile treck from a dead stop, u have to acount for the time and distance it takes to get to that 60 mph your talking about. i assume thats the twist in this question?
It's longer than 3 hours. Be it fantasy or not, it still has to accelerate to 60, decelerate to 0, re-accel to 60, and finally re-decel to 0. I'd say 3 hours 2 minutes.
Is it quicker to New York or by bus?
WRONG!
could be!!:evilgrin:
**darth vader** impressive!! ;)
:laughing: :slap:
funny
lets see who posts what by tomarrow.. if they dare to take the quiz:evilgrin:
then question number two. and what it takes to do in the real world and then what the people said at my job what it should take :spit: :rollin: :screwy:
Nick do we need to factor in swerving resulting from a case of your favorite brew?
:laughing: :flip:
not while driving a heavy duty truck.. anyone who drives one will know what the punishment is.. in short it's not good! even if you have a sealed alcohol beverage in the truck and did'nt even have one drink your in deep deep deep shiznit!!!
People at work said under 2 hours. Or 3 hours to the seconed
If an electric train is traveling due east at 30mph and the wind is also blowing due east at 30 mph which direction does the smoke go?
If a rooster lays an egg on the pinnacle of an off canted barn roof which way will the egg roll?
Do you pack your lunch or walk to school?
If 1 is lonely, 2 is company and three is a crowd, what are 4,5 and 6?
If a cone is bisected by a horizontal plane, the lower remaining portion is called a frustum. What is the upper remaining portion called?
It would take 3 hours and some odd minutes to drive there and back. But how long are you staying at Point B? Thats the answer.
Takes 3 hours minimum to drive + the accel and deccel as before mentioned + the amount of time you stay at Point B.
its an electric train there is no smoke!!!!
Roosters don't lay eggs
following YOUR instructions,, there appears to be no stops at all nor any time in your instructions for a stay over.
drive time is simple, 3 hours + acceleration time.
:cheers: 4,5& 6 are a goodtime
the top section is a cone.
However long it takes to get there and back.
Where's the answer?
The answer is always 42.
something-something economics
voo-doo economics

Mr. and Mrs Smith have five children. Half of them are boys. How is that possible?
your to muckin fuch :giggle:
i was'nt looking for an exact number but a few of you got the right idea..
180 miles 90 each way as i stated above will equal about 3 hours and 2 minutes..
from a dead stop to accelerate to 60 and drive from point A to point B will take 30 to 40 seconds stop to turn around and drive back to point A again will take another 35 to 45 seconds and you arive back at point A it will take about another 25 seconds to deccelerate to come to a complete stop..
The scenario you've presented is impossible. You cannot "start from a dead stop" while "driving 60 MPH". If the truck cannot surpass 60 MPH it is impossible to travel the entire distance at that speed.
You've also not given us the acceleration rate of the truck. Did it take the entire 90 miles to get to 60, or did it take 20 seconds? How long did it take for the truck to decelerate to 0, and how long did it take you to turn it around? How long to accelerate back to 60?
I could get even more technical and say that since you didn't give us your lattitude we cannot accurately estimate or factor in the rotation of the earth - closer to the poles = slower relative rotational speed, closer to the equator = higher speed. You also didn't say whether you're traveling north-south or east-west, so we can't determine the speed you're whizzing through the solar system. Iif you're traveling against the earth's rotation and against the direction Earth is revolving around the sun your speed will be significantly different than if you're traveling into the rotation and into the revolution, and time of day will be a factor with revolution as well - you're going the opposite direction in daytime than you would be going at night.
So, um... the answer is George Washington.
Ooooohh. So sorry. That is incorrect. Would anyone besides Sean Connery like to ring in?
1) Up
2) Roosters don't lay eggs
3) 15 (4 + 5 + 6 = 16)
4) A cone. A smaller cone, but a cone
:D
*EDIT* this dialup, I hit "quote" on Mayem's post before the rest of the page loaded and didn't even realize that others have already answered. Oh well, I'm still smart. Honest...
If a hen and a half can lay an egg and a half in a day and a half, then why is a cat like a sidewalk?
*EDIT* I just noticed the topic of this thread. Is this whole thing just an excuse to get naked?
in part of your post is my point.. it takes time to accelerate to 60
and deaccelerate and so on. thats was my point and was what i said. i was'nt look for an exact number just an idea. thats all i was'nt asking for the corect mathamatical equation of the space time continum of this galaxy and if GOD had anything to do with my out come ;) like i said i was trying to keep it simple..
Nick
So "George Washington" was wrong? :hick:
:grinno: :raspberry :flip:
Electric motors don't smoke and 4+5+6=
15. 2 out of 4 is 50%. that's a failing grade even in the US. ;)
Yes, Burt Reynolds.
Thats not my name.
Ok...Turd Ferguson.
Not all of them are Mr. Smith's Kids. One is a stepchild. I have no clue, just going with what I got.
who wins in a fight SUPERMAN or BATMAN
No, I'm sorry. Anyone else?
shiznit, I missed the "electric" train part, though I bet if I ever got behind the controls of one I could make that sonofabitch smoke, just to prove my point :hick:
As for the 16, it was a typo, as you can see before the bracketed equation in my answer.
Those are my stories and I'm sticking to 'em. :beatyoass:
As for your "Family" question where you say half are male, do you mean half of the children, or half of the family?
If you mean "half of the family" the answer is simple: The woman died during birth of the last child. That would give two boys, three girls, and a male father, for a 50/50 family :hick:
One of the girls was named boy
ALL the children are boys. Half are boys and so are the other half.
You are driving a bus in St. Louis. At your first stop 11 people get on. At your second stop 6 people get on and 3 get off. At you third stop 7 people get on and 5 get off. At your 4th stop 5 people get on none get off. At your 5th stop 3 people get on and 9 get off. At your last stop no people get on and 15 people get off.
What is the bus driver's name?
Carmen
I have this down to a science now who can figure it out for me? LOL

bleh, my answer was better :flip:
I believe Carmen was on the right track... George Washington...
