If 2 typists can type 2 pages in 2 minutes, how many typists would it take to type 18 pages in 6 minutes??

Im confused

Originally posted by DigiNut Well, I've heard this kind of question in terms of the relativity paradox. If the train is travelling at half the speed of light, then the train is only 1 mile long in the rest frame of the tunnel. It doesn't exactly work out that way though, because once the train stops then it's again 2 miles in terms of the rest frame. It fits inside while it's moving because it's compressed, but would not fit after it stops.

Your right, but the engine would have to be at the back of the train, becoue if it was at the front, traveling at that speed the train would strech and be 4 miles long.

6, how easy was that?

There is a boat that can hold a maximum of 14 stone, you have to get the father (13 stone) and two sons (both 7 stone) across the river. Non of them can swim, how do you do it?

Easy

Both the sons get on and cross the river. One then gets off.
The other son crosses the river back to the father.
The father then gets on and crosses.
The son then gets back on and crosses back to the other son.
Then both sons get on and cross.

I LOVE these types of questions! Ok, both sons go across the river, one comes back, father goes across, other son comes back, both sons go across. Yoinks!

As for the train in the tunnel question, it doesn't matter where the engine is in the train. As long as it's all connected, it could be anywhere.

Just got before you

And it does matter. Gravery will take affect when traveling at these speeds.

Get some chowinggum and put it on the wall. The wall will reperstent Gravery. If you push the chowinggum it swashes. And the train will do the same if the engine is at the back. But if you pull the chowinggum it stretches. Same if the engine is at the front

I think you mean gravity? LOL...

But yes, you are right. Actually I don't think it has anything to do with gravity, but the engine would have to be at the back of the train thus "pushing" it rather than "pulling" it which would expand the train.

as long as the tunnel is high enough, there is no problem.. just drive
