The worlds first riddle!

Tryagain you are cute
There are two answers to your riddle
1) The brother was sentioned to death and the one who has to kill him (is his brother)
2) The other answer to this one is real. So, in light of that I cannot tell you.

[size=8]EARTH
The gap between the wire and the earth's surface is 10/(2pi) = 1.59 meters. A young child could walk under it.

BROTHER
He was his brother's executioner - the killing was legal.
or
He was already convicted of killing his brother (although he hadn't). Can't be tried for the same crime twice.

SUV
mileage goes to 26.082 mpg
savings per year is 22.80
$818 is recouped in 3.67 years[/size]

Mark your or answer is interesting , but involves prison, time, etc. for the first conviction. Also there is a distinction for Federal as opposed to State crimes. Different although plausible.
The other solution is more simple. So, you can try again.

You sure got that right, but they don't have wi-fi in night clubs in Cuba.

It's the Hobo life for me, name a city or town with a railroad and I've bummed a lift in a freight car. Left skool about 13 I guess, went looking fer a pair of shoes and I never looked back.




Ps. Bill, your avatar with the cheese hat on Gus is way awesome!!!

Here Tryagain, now you do not have to use the railroad anymore. Just do not give out my license plate # okay? It is a secret and bring her back clean. I like to keep my cars clean

Courtesy of Buttrflynet... she made a boat load of them.

Tryagain, can you explain Albert Einstein's 1905 paper "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies"? Please. I will give up the avatar btw.

Five Papers That Changed the Face of Physics: THE YEAR 1905, in which Albert Einstein produced what are considered as his five great papers that shattered many cherished scientific beliefs, is described as Einstein's miraculous year.

The best known two are: "On the electrodynamics of moving bodies" and "Does the inertia of body depend on its energy content?". The first one replaces the concept of absolute time with another absolute, the speed of light. It is in this his third paper that he correctly proposed that the speed of light was the same in all frames of reference moving relative to one another. Incidentally this had been established in 1887 itself by the famous Michelson-Morle experiment that demolished the concept of ether altogether. According to Einstein's principle of relativity all physical laws are the same in all frames of reference in uniform motion with respect to one another.

The second paper asserts the equivalence of mass and energy leading to the famous equation E=mc^2.

All Einstein's major work was over by the time he was in his Thirties and, in 1921, he observed, "Discovery in the grand manner is for young people... and hence for me, a thing of the past."

I will resist the temptation to ask why you wish to know.



BIG red muscle car:

There is nothing about that car I did not like, it is also the cleanest shine I have ever seen.

Are those Firehawk Indy 500 tires?

Thoh:

radius of wire: 40000.01/2/pi*1000=6366199.315m
radius of earth: 40000/2/pi*1000=6366197.724m
difference: 1.591m

the man doesn't have to creep if he's short enough...either way, all 3 can


It is easy to subtract 2 equations (original perimeter = 2xPIxR, length of wire = 2xPIxR + 2xPIx(new R)) and find out that the result is 10m/(2xPI), which is about 1.6 m. So a smaller man can go under it and a bigger man ducks.



A man kills his brother.

He killed his siamese twin.

That is a good answer, I wonder what would happen.


TTH:

The brother was sentioned to death and the one who has to kill him (is his brother)





Mark:


EARTH
The gap between the wire and the earth's surface is 10/(2pi) = 1.59 meters. A young child could walk under it.

BROTHER
He was his brother's executioner - the killing was legal.
or
He was already convicted of killing his brother (although he hadn't). Can't be tried for the same crime twice.

Another clever answer, again, I wonder if that has ever been done.

SUV
mileage goes to 26.082 mpg
savings per year is 222.80
$818 is recouped in 3.67 years


3 years and 8 months is correct.

Currently, an SUV which travels 15,000 miles at 20.7 mpg would use 724.637 gallons of gasoline in a year. At $1.49 per gallon, the cost for gas in a year is $1079.71.

If the $818 worth of improvements are made so that you get 26% better gas mileage or 26.082 mpg, travelling 15,000 miles would only require 575.1 gallons of gas in a year. The cost for the gas would be $856.90, or an annual savings of $222.81.

It would, therefore, only take $818 / $222.81 = 3.67 years to recoup the money spent for improvements.


However, in the August 2, 2001 edition of The Washington Post, the House rejected a proposal to boost fuel efficiency standards for sport utility vehicles.





Budda, Bing, Budda Bang! Whatever happened to the track and cake problem?




What are the next three numbers in this very clever and somewhat unique sequence

1, 8, 11, 18, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, ...




What is 50% heavier than a cubic foot of coal, but when reduced in weight by 50% weighs less than a cubic foot of coal

Whatever weighs more than 50% of the cubic foot of coal. Tryagain, will you change your avatar back. The blue fit you. If you do not, then I guess I will just have to nic your current one and play with it. I am still thinking about the number clue. Making me think

Are the last three 1, 8, 100?

If so, then I am done thinking for the day.

Or is it 1, 8, 785?

[size=8]TRACK & CAKE
T/44 = T/52 + 1
After 286 seconds, TTH will have gone 6.5 laps to Mark's 5.5.

COAL
1.5 cubic feet of coal.

SEQUENCE
89, 100, 101, 102, ..., 198, 199, 800, 801, 802, ..., 898, 899, 1000, 1001, and so on.[/size]

Now I am suppose to think

I am sticking with this answer. If the coal weighs 200 lbs and something weights 50% more=300lbs. Reduce that by 50% and then you have 150lbs which is less than the original cubic weight of the coal=200lbs.

Can it just be 89, 90, 91?

Maybe I will just go back to bed, want to join me?
