Well yes I did and I posted it. But then of course MikeB made some suggestions and now I have to re-post it. Probably would have got it right if it wasn't for the interruptions.

Anyway I think this aeroplane thing could be a cataclysmic event much like a hydrogen bomb.

Engines thrust, wheels turn, runway catches up, engines thrust more, wheels turn faster, runway catches up, engines thrust even more, wheels turn even faster, runway catches up, engines...etc

Holy .......... Batman what was that ??

What are G's&T's?
Must be a limey thing....Gin and Tonics!

Hi Tony, I was actually refering to your picture collection.....lots of flowers but there was a little gem in the middle.....beautiful!!!
That and the 427 Shelby Cobra would ensure I never had time to post on this damn thread again......!

well asssuming that they were stationary inside the plane then murphy's law would tend to suggest that the plane would take of however if they were driving and the pacer ran into the back of the pinto then the plane would blow up :devilr:

Tony.
 
No doubt!

I owned a Pinto once. It got rear ended and didn't explode.


It was out of gas. Really. A true story. I'm .... I'm so ashamed :bawling: I owned a Pinto. And admitted it on an open forum ...

Gauwd, help me!:bawling: :bawling:

I just don't seem to have the will power to stop reading new posts in this thread...

You could argue that all riddles and hypothetical questions are flawed, but that's a cop out. What makes it interesting is seeing how you interpret/disect/evaluate it with what limited info you do have. 😉 So select a corner dagnammit!

The plane takes off, flawed question or not! 😀

😀 Happy New Year aeroplane thread 😀


Are you sure ?

If the wheels turn faster and faster to keep ahead of the conveyor speed, they will very quickly exceed C. So while some of the plane may well be in 2006 the wheels may still be in 2005.....

This is one factor overlooked in this thread thus far....

If we stop the plane now, we may still save the space-time continu........oh never mind!!
