Ok, here's my first one for ya, its a math questions so all you programmers out there should get it.

You are driving in a car to a party, and our only assumption is that you are free to drive at any speed you choose - no traffic jams or hitting little woodland creatures or anything like that. For the first half of the journey (i.e.half the distance) you drive at 20 miles per hour. You then realise that this is all taking way too long, and that you are going to be late for the party. You decide that you will increase your speed so that your overall average speed for the whole trip will be 40 miles per hour. How fast do you have to drive for the remaining part of your trip in order for your average speed for the whole trip to be 40 miles per hour?

Talk out loud if you wish.. http://forums.armageddongames.com/html/smilies/smile.gif

Well, suppose that the distance you need to travel is 80 miles. At 20 miles per hour, you will get halfway (40 miles) after 2 hours. To have an average speed of 40 miles per hour, you must go all 80 miles in 2 hours. For the remainder of the trip you have to go Infinite speed because you already used up your 2 hours.

No, it should be moved back down to the 113th page of GD where it belongs.

how would you know itd from the 113th page? lol...

Selah, why not try your own topic in FG, instead of making a zombie of these ones?

As part of becoming a moderator, I was required to submit part of my mind to Shadowblazer's will. The resultant psychic link between us provides me with access to such information.

Not really... if you actually want to play trivia, start your own thread. Don't dig up topics from the 420th page of GD and ask us to move them. It should be fairly obvious that if someone was going to move such a topic, it would have been done 419 pages ago.

No, there's no rule against digging up old topics... but you should have something to add to the thread, just like if it were a newer topic. You added precious little to this thread, so please exercise more discretion in unearthing ancient topics in the future.

1. Well, after reading Dark Nation's "new" OA post (cough), I won't say where this needs to go because there is no need...it is a dead topic.

2. Which of Selah's posts was spam? The first was him trying to answer a question, the other was a comment to gerudo who's post was just as much spam as his if it was spam, and the other was a comment to gerudo's remark about making another topic about it, and the other to inori's remark about this being from page 4-something.

This thread should have been hit by the prune, shouldn't it have?

i think so, it must've just missed. maybe dug up from the last page or 2...

and i say his first post was the most spammish since he didn't even try to get the right answer... one word then a comment about why it should be moved even though FG didn't even exist at the time...
