New Quiz

I have to work today, so this one is going to be pretty simple.

A driver in California has a brand new Chevy Volt. A driver in Boston has a new Ferrari. The California driver hops in his car and starts heading for the East Coast. For the purposes of this quiz we will assume that he is able to charge/fuel his car when the need arises. Let us also assume that the Volt driver travels at an average speed of 55mph. The Boston driver also has no problems fueling his vehicle, and travels at an average speed of 70mph. He is heading towards the West Coast. Lastly, let's assume that 3,000 miles separates the two drivers at the start of this race. Our question is -- which driver will be closest to the East Coast when the meet and why?

Well it has to be the Boston driver. Doesn't matter where they meet, he will still be closer until their paths cross.

maianhvk · 04-06-2012, 11:21 AM

when they meet they're at the same place so nobody's closer to the east coast.

Daithi · 04-06-2012, 11:26 AM

Technically, I think Orlok was right, but Maianhvk actually gave the answer I was looking for. It was just supposed to be a quick humorous quiz.

Either one of you can give us our next quiz.

Well I would never have solved that I think. To me it just looked like a string of letter with far to many consonants no matter what I did with the commas.

I think it's about time Anh gave us a question, specially as she got the right answer

What is the brightest planet as viewed from Earth?

Bookpossum · 04-07-2012, 12:05 AM

Venus?

Daithi · 04-07-2012, 12:07 AM

Earth?

maianhvk · 04-07-2012, 12:10 AM

I knew it is too easy for you smart folks! Bookpossum's got it right, a new quiz for us please!

Edit to add that, Venus, also known as the Evening star, has an apparent brightness magnitude of -4.4.
