The winner would be the first person to answer this question correctly.

A train leaves boston 12:30 PM, traveling east going 80 m/hr. At 2:00 PM a train leaves LA traveling west at 120 m/hr, at what time and place will the trains meet?


This is not my homework, you don't even have to put caculations up, winner gets free bragging rights.

[Reach]

Trains can travel across water? Unless im completely stunned here, boston is east coast, and LA is west...and the boston train is going east and LA is going west o_O

They'll like never meet anyway. They're on different lines on longitude/latitude

[aleco]

That is the answer. They will never meet.

[MWGwyn]

Damn, you guys got it faster than I thought you would.

[aleco]

Heheh, 5 minutes too fast for ya?

[MWGwyn]

No it's just that evertime I ask someone, they do a caculation and all that stuff then give me a number. The they go "DOH!" and relize what I had said.

Yeah if you ask that question the longitude and lattitude wont work anyway because they are going to fall into the ocean anwyay.

Another way of asking it is having LA go East and Boston go West and just don't take that Boston is further north than LA into consideration. Don't ask what time they will meat and the answer would be "A fiery Crash".

[Reach]

Im just too smart.

They don't always have to be traveling in the direction they initially depart with...

[Freak83]

More of a geography question than anything it seems.

[Anticrombie0909]

Yes, but it's supposed to trick the person, all tricksy like, yeah? Like that old one:
If you have a hole five feet across and ten feet deep, how many cubic meters of dirt are in the whole?

But of course there's NOTHING in the whole! Then you get to go 'LOLOLOLOLOLOLO' while the person you did it to goes "wow, that's so totally not funny at all. You ass clown."

[makaveli121212]

or if it takes 8 men to dig 4 holes in 16 days, how long would it take one man to dig half a hole

[Lupin_the_3rd]

Yes, but it's supposed to trick the person, all tricksy like, yeah? Like that old one:

I GET IT!!! it's a trick question!

you used the word hole as whole in attempts to trick us!!

glad i caught that


no such thing as half a hole

[makaveli121212]
