Because Earl said, "I quit, I don't want to go to hell." am i right?? President Clinton visiting Vietnam, shooting out the door of Air Force 1 (from the Clinton in Vietnam audio clip): Clinton's advisor:"Mr. President, how can you shoot innocent women and children?" Clinton:"It's easy. Just don't lead'em as much!"

O&A Board Regular Registered: Sep. 00 | Speed is a function of distance over time. 1st lap at 30mph=2minutes 2nd lap at 120mph=30seconds total time = 2.5 minutes for 2 miles thus than average speed = 48mph 60mph average= "it's not gonna happen people"[home shopping guy] | ||||

Psychopath Registered: Feb. 01 | Before reading every reply, here's my answer: Infinite speed. Here's the thing, an avg of 60 MPH means two miles in two minutes. But youve already used two minutes going one mile at 30 MPH. [After writing the above:]I checked the rest of the thread and luckily found someone on the right track. quote:DILLON! What do you think average speed means? It means the EQUIVALENT speed that you could have gone constantly to be at the same place at the end, at the same time. Take it from someone with 800's on SAT Math and SAT II Math IIC and a couple of math team medals laying around.

Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 70 | Painter, your logic is not flawed, and I can't tell which theory is actually correct. All I know now is... If it weren't for my horse, I wouldn't have spent that year in college.

Psychopath Registered: Feb. 01 | [Lewis Black]So I turned around to ask Kid "Wha-What did you mean by that?" But he's not there. And I turn to Painter and Sloatsburgh to see if they heard but no, they're busy pretending they're gonna buy a cell phone.[/Lewis Black] Btw, av8ers logic IS flawed. quote:No, that's the average OF the speeds.How do you figure out your average speed when you went somewhere? You divide the distance by the time it took to get there. quote:FINALLY! SOMEONE WHO GETS IT!! ***EDIT***: NONE of my aggression(what little of it I have hitherto displayed) is directed to those of you who said "It's 90 MPH" but did NOT then tool on others and walk around with your dicks out and pointing to it. Because THOSE people can suck my dicks. That means you can calm the hell down, Sleeper.

Psychopath Registered: Jan. 01 | So Kid, let me get this straight. Painter's logic is "not flawed", but when I made the same argument earlier today, I was a dick? Whatever. Why behave in public if you're living on a playground? | ||||

O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | quote: Ok..now I might be a little out of my league here. It has been a long time since I've been in school, but that's what we're looking for here. It is a trick question after all. All the question is asking is the AVERAGE of the 2 laps. The 1 mile distance is just thrown in to confuse the askee. The last time I remember calculating averages you were supposed to take the sum of the means divided by the number of means to get your average. I'm accepting applications for adoptees. | ||||
