Emmett,
I've been cipherin' some on that problem you mentioned, and I believe the solution is this: you are assuming that Ms. Leasch was driving 25 mph which would have her traveling 75 mph....but as Neil Bentley would point out (hanging his hat on the details like those big city attorneys do), she merely stated that she never drives OVER 25 mph.....but in fact she may have been driving well UNDER 25 mph.....in fact, driving 4.67 mph, and allowing for a 10 minute stop every 30 minutes, would have a body traveling those 14 miles in about 4 hours. That's my 2 cents worth (course, you can buy quite a bit of candy for 2 cents if you know where to look) Greg B Minnesota's biggest TAGS fan....(and part-time rocket scientist) ================================================================== Message: 5 Date: Sun, 26 Apr 2009 19:19:16 EDT From: [email protected] Subject: Barney's First Car To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" I was watching the episode, "Barney's First Car", and I got to thinkin' under my bucket, and that might be dangerous, but here goes. Ms. Leasch said it took her 4 hours from Mount Pilot, because she doesn't drive over 25 mph, and gives the machine a 10 minute rest every 30 minutes. Now, according to my machines here at the shop, and I'm sure they're not as good as the ones at the bank, but according to my calculations, that would make it 75 miles from Mt. Pilot to Mayberry. I thought it was only 14 miles? Anyone got any thoughts on that?
