You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Yes, this should be easy. Apparently, however, I got it all wrong.

Well, you're starting from a false premise. Aircraft start at 0 mph, not 100. Or it it's the take off speed, most planes that can do 600 mph need to be going a bit faster than 100 to get off the ground in the first place. :)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

We have TiVo (and worship it like unto a God), but what with The Daily Show and Baseball games and various movies, things pile up.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

BF and I are starting TV-less Tuesday tonight.

I interpret your choice of day thusly: "Dammit, if Buffy's not on Tuesday night, then fuck Tuesday altogether!"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

.5*350 + 3*600 + 1*350

I think.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Wait!

Katefate is here!

I haven't seen her in ages!

Hi Katefate!

Actually for the problem as written, if you take the average speed of the plane while it's accelerating or decelerating times the time it accelerates or decelerates, and add that the distance traveled while it's cruising, you should get the answer they're looking for.

Or what tommy said.

Frail my heart apart and play me a little Shady Grove

JZ has a sexy cool new haircut.

So many redundancies in the line I don't know where to start.

Emily, I don't have a clue as to your math problem, but just reading it made me feel all tingly.

Yay for TV-less Tuesday! "Washing the dog" sounds like fun. Is that like the "LUNCH" thing?

No, that's the "crazy hot sex" thing, which is for AFTER we wash the dog.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

Okay, you all are getting the same kind of answer I got. Which makes me feel better, at least. Who knows, maybe they got it wrong, or maybe I read the wrong answer? Will check back in with an update. Am currently working on a practice test for the GRE Math subject test, which... ugh. I mean, I covered all this stuff in CS classes, but... well, a lot of it was in that class I failed. So as painful as it will be, I think I'd better go track down the book. er, if I still have it. Crap.

Hmmm.
