Maths problem of the day

If Justin Bieber is taking water into his lungs at a rate of 2ml/sec while Kim Kardashian is taking water into her lungs at a rate of 4ml/sec how long will it take for you to decide what kind of sandwich to eat while you watch them drown?

Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

That's awful and not even funny. Watching them (do whatever) would really destroy my appetite, wasting a perfectly good sandwich. Waste is no joke (especially when it's a yummy sandwich!) :sigh:

I think a boxing match might be more entertaining.

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data. There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Hmm I would take my time and make a good decision. Not like I have to hurry :)

The first part of the question is irrelevant. The answers always bacon. :)

Since I'm the one drowning them I will have thought about this in advance and as a true belgian I will have a beer. This one [^] preferably. ;P

Given that the average male lung capacity is 6,000 ml, and the average female lung capacity is 4,000 ml, it would take Kim approximately 1,000 seconds (16 minutes) to drown, and Justin approximately 3,000 seconds (50 minutes) to drown. This would give me plenty of time to settle down with a nice smoked salmon sandwich on Rye bread, and some Bushmills 10 year single malt.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

Female mud wrestling? :) Yes, I know that Justin is male (in a manner of speaking...)

As another Belgian I agree wholeheartedly, beer it should be. Maybe not exactly the one you prefer but hey, we have got 800+ different ones to choose from. There is always one to like. :)

I'd love to hear that story some time. :-\
