A silly one! There is a drain-pipe lying in the road. It is fifteen feet long. A squirrel pokes its head in at one end and then runs around and pokes its head in at the other end. If this takes six seconds and it doubles in speed each trip, how many trips will it have to make before it is poking its head into each end of the drainpipe at the same time?

uhhh... not possible?

Possible or not please give us some reason.

Because squirrels can't move at the speed of light?

Even if it was a bent drain pipe....That is just lame.

OK, I am lame fine whatever.

Here is some reason behind the last riddle.

Actually it's not as silly as it sounds (well maybe it is) but in the world of mathematics and physics (to which the real world is only a close approximation) this puzzle is actually possible and I remember answering similar questions in my first year of phyiscs at university. If the question is actually taken literally the squirrel would be looking at himself after its 30th trip at which point it will be travelling at 408021893.12m/s (if I've done my maths correctly). It is during the squirrel's 30th trip that it has reached the speed of light and time would quite literally have stood still. By the time it reached the end of the pipe the sqirrel would have succeeded in travelling back in time and be looking at him or her self in the past. Or to think of it another way, the squirrel would have literally overtaken the light rays which are travelling through the pipe and if it stuck its head in the pipe after its 30th run the image hitting its eyes would be of itself sticking its head into the other end of the pipe. In theory it would then also be possible to take a photo of the event where the squirrel is sitting at both ends of the pipe at the same time. Of course it is quite debatable whether such time travel really is possible or whether the squirrel would have survived breaking the sound barrier or whether the squirrel could even find the end of the pipe while travelling at those speeds because any image that actually enters its eyes would be highly distorted (kind of like watching the starship enterprise engaging its warp drive) or whether the squirrel would not have escaped the earth's gravitational pull.

So what you are saying is that squirrels can move at the speed of light?

No wonder my dog can never catch the little bastard. She's only sub light capable.

Answer this one....

A guy joins a computer forum on 8-28. His posts get lamer and lamer over time. He posts this incredibly lame post on 10-14. How long will it take for a mod to tell him to STFU?

Not possible unless the little rodent can travel at the speed of light.

Even if he can travel at the speed of light, that doesn't mean that you are physically at two places at once.

The answer: squirrel reaches some maximum speed and keeps going back and forth until a steam roller comes by and squashes the pipe while the squirrel's head is in one end. The pipe pinches shut and the head flattens out to 15 feet long and it it coming out both ends of the pipe.

Oh you bastards got me before i could edit my mistake.


You hear about the plane crash in Poland?

A 8 seater plane crashed into a Graveyard in one of the major cities in Poland.

They have found over 200 dead and expect the number to rise.
