If you are travelling at 80mph.......

It is not the dumb bit that gets me though, it the logic she tries to apply to come up with an answer. You can almost see the cogs turning. We all have dumb days, fair enough some more than others. Reminds me of last wednesday in the curry house, while waiting for the starters to arrive there was general banters occurring as it does, and out of nowhere we went from music discussions to someone asking "In the film Mutiny on the Bounty, what was the name of the boat?", I could believe some of the answers some of them started giving :)

I'm not surprised they mutineed. 41 people all crammed on top of one small chocolate covered coconut bar.

I don't want to spoil the plot for you, but I will say it goes from wet to less wet. I won't tell you the ending!
Sort of a cross between Lawrence of Arabia and Dilbert.[^]

A Dead ringer for Kate Winslett[^]I prefered the sequel. The second coat.

Small children's fingerprints. The open ending allows for a sequel.

He's an idiot. Effectively, he thinks it's acceptable for everybody to laugh at how dumb his wife his. I feel sorry for her.

If you are travelling at 80 miles per hour, how long does it take to cover 80 miles? She might get the correct answer by the time you have travelled the 80 miles. :rolleyes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=OdYTj5CChaA#![^]

I assume they're on the Mass Pike, so with twenty minutes per stop for speeding it should take about two hours. On the other hand, had he asked, "at an average speed of eighty miles per hour...", then I would accept an answer of "one hour".

Did you see the video response someone else has put up trying to justify the first video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alkX2l92eRg[^] I think she really really missed the point......... :rolleyes:

In most countries, travelling at 80 MPH it would take you a long time to go 80 miles. You'd be carted off to a local court and fined for speeding; or, if very lucky, have to endure a long, severe lecture from a member of the boys / girls in blue. After either of these, you would ensure that you kept to the speed limit for the rest of the journey, another possible outcome would be that you would soon meet a traffic jam or get stuck behind a tractor / caravan and have to crawl along for large parts of the journey meaning that the 80 MPH cannot be maintained. So the answer is 'a long time'. The lady in the clip is the one who is on the right lines, not the man who asked the question; she is looking at the real world problem, not some maths textbook problem.

What I'm wondering is this: Is this guy still alive? I can't believe she is still with him! Not everyone gets math. It comes VERY easy to me, but I have this wonderful lady in my life who doesn't get math. Big Deal! She is one of the smartest people I know, but her brain knows words, not numbers. She can spell, I can't. I can do math, she can't. This guy needs his head slapped real good!
