Math game...

How do we know that Maggie doesn't have a couple more sisters somewhere? Maybe in Maggie's country, 5 really means 7 in English.

Okay... but then I get to ask the question.

You throw a ball as hard as you can. It doesn't bounce off of anything, nobody throws it back, there is nothing attached to the ball and there is no hill for it to roll down. Yet, it comes right back to you. How?

I did that with an arrow once. It was out in my back yard and I was with my two young sons. Shooting the arrow up as straight as possible seemed like a good idea at the time. It was rather majestic in flight, getting smaller and smaller. Then, for a very brief moment, it was still, almost motionless at the apex.

How long do you think it too me to realize my folly?

Dad shout: "Run! Run away!" "RUN!!!"

Nobody was hurt. My kids have too many reasons to laugh at me.

Two cowboys make a bet to see who will get the girl. They decide to have a race to determine the best man. To change things up a bit, they say, "Whoever has the slowest horse wins."

After riding aimlessly for 4 days they both stumble on you, the wisest man on the face of the earth, and explain their dilemma.

Upon receiving your advice, they both jump on the horses and race as fast as they can to the finish line.


What did you say to them?

You told them that she was your daughter and anyone who touched her would be in big trouble (or have to marry her, which is about the same thing).

Okay, I see the problem.


Two race-car drivers make a bet to see who will win. They decide to have a race to determine the best driver. To change things up a bit, they say, "Whoever has the slowest car wins." After driving aimlessly for 4 days they stumble on you, the wisest man on the face of the earth, and explain their dilemma.

Upon receiving your advice, they both jump onto into the horses cars and race as fast as they can to the finish line.

You mean "Yes" isn't enough?

If one jet is going west at a slow speed and the wind is so strong that the plane is actually going backwards relative to the earth, then it is in fact traveling east. Another jet going east at a faster speed can then hit it head on.

Ah ok I hadn't considered that :D Assuming both jets are moving in the direction they face ( east/nose first ) is it possible to collide head on ?

Then I'll have to change my answer to "no", unless there is a quantum temporal anomaly involved. (Guess what movie I watched just the other day.)
