I was totally caught off-guard and said that the circle is a symbol of life and that prior to sewers people died from unsanitary conditions, so that's why they are circular. *blank stare* *blank stare back* |

how many ping pong balls are needed to fill a 747?
they don't care so much for the final answer as a reasonable mathematical/logical process for getting to it. eg, if it take 1 million ping pong balls and you happen to guess 1 million, ding. if you say, well a ping pong ball is X size and there are Y things of X size in the plane, yada yada yada 500k, that's a better answer |

You go to the beach at 50 mph on Friday and come Sunday while traveling at 60mph. You take the same route. The distance each way is 150 miles. What was your average speed? |

the middle number between 50 and 60 should be the correct answer, unless I'm missing something?
it would have been more complicated with different routes that were different distances. |

|
|
Date: October 2nd, 2009 8:17 PM Author: Poppy spectacular liquid oxygen yeah, man but you're an A+ speller.
55 is the suckers's answer. average speed equals distance divided by time. think about that. you drove 300 miles round trip and it took you 5.5 hours (150 / 50 plus 150 / 60) |
|
Date: October 2nd, 2009 8:19 PM Author: curious hell codepig i'll take your word for it, i'm no good at math.
