furlongs

Did you try an internet search???
This is a really inefficient way to find this information. Just search for "furlong feet" and the first 500 web sites that come up will have the convertion for you. Why would you expect us to do that for you when you could do it more quickly than we could read your message.

it wont give me 1/40 of a furlong and i don't know how to figure it out... please help me

Sigh...


One divided by 40 = 0.025

You have 0.025 furlongs. Use the search I gave you and this value and you should be able to solve this.

thank you!

thank you!

We need a new forum:
"Dummies who can't and slackers who won't use the Internet come here"

16 feet 6 inches.

no more neopets answers!!!
if you start seeing the same question being asked several times...usually around friday or saturday....good chance it is yet another neopets.com lenny conundrum question that these kids (??? or are they) are too lazy to figure out for themselves. since the prize amount is determined by how many people can get the correct answer i think that it is very unfair to those who actually use their brains to figure the problem out....not rely on others on forums like this to do it for them....no more lenny conundrum answers...at least until a week later when a new one comes out....

Hey molly its not like im asking for the anserw! im not LAZY!

me and my brother found it out

inasara,

1/40 furlongs = 1 rod, pole or perch = 16 feet 6 inches = 16.5 feet which you have already found.

See http://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/units/dictR.html and scroll down to rod (rd) for a comprehensive description.

Any horse racing fan knows there are 8 furlongs to a mile (5280 ft.), hence one furlong is 5280 divided by 8 or 660 ft. and 1/40 furlongs is 660 divided by 40 or 16.5ft- just another route to the same answer.

inasara,

isn't it amazing how you can ask a question and get called names and belittled for it. Last year my son's 6th grade teacher handed out a riddle and called it a math grade bonus for fun. Neither the teacher, parents or kids could figure it out so i posted it here, learned my lesson real fast. apparently it was an online quiz or something, but some people on this site sure did put me in my place. I love riddles and finding solutions for different things but I will never ask anything on this site again. I still get on the site on occasion to look for new riddles or questions to work on.

Hey, somebody give me a sentence using the phrase "furlongs per fortnight." I want to baffle them at work tomorrow.

It's this way babycat; it often sounds like we're being asked to do someone else's homework, which isn't quit cricket. When you luck out, the right person drops in with priceless hints, leaving you to work out the problem.
