================================================ Subject: CREED Math From: "Joe Earles" To: Date: Thu 21 Mar 2002 22:55:13 -0500 ================================================ I decided to go for a more educational motif: Problem #1: Train A, carrying the members of CREED, traveling 70 miles per hour (mph), leaves Westford heading toward Eastford, 260 miles away. At the same time Train B, carrying Britney Spears (after sorting out the excess baggage fee and allowing her breasts onto the train provided she stores them in the overhead compartment or under her seat), traveling 60 mph, leaves Eastford heading toward Westford. When do the two trains meet? How far from each city do they meet? Problem #2: Johnny puts his copy of Weathered into his CD player and pulls up track #3 "Who's Got My Back" with a running time of 8 minutes 12 seconds. Across town his girlfriend Joni puts in her copy of Britney Spears' I'm Not a Girl..." import single with a running time of 4 minutes 13 seconds. If Joni picks up the phone and calls Johnny thirty seconds before her song ends and Johnny picks up the phone 12 seconds after Joni's song ends, how long will it be before "Who's Got My Back" is over? Get the door! It's CREED! To unsubscribe or change your preferences for the Creed-Discuss list, visit: http://www.winduplist.com/ls/discuss/form.asp
