This latest one - about the lady driving home after work - is a snap, or really hard. You should have it in a matter of seconds.If not, you're not usiong your imagination!
A recent one about the family on a car journey from, let's say, Virginia to NYC, was more interesting. The question was which part of the car travelled the most on that trip.
I finally came down to figuring it was a tooth on the flywheel. It was going around as well as going forward. I'll stick by this as it was travelling on a spiral whereas other parts of the car were going in a straight line. The pistons and the piston rod big end bearing were travelling more than mpst of the other parts, with the radiator fan a possibility. Anyhow, Tom and Ray po-pooed oily nerds like me and claimed it was the ignition key that went from the house, into the car, then with the car, then with the driver into the resturant and so on. That was the winner. I should protest and I guess I am here doing to - to deaf ears!
Several weeks ago, I sent a 'letter to the editor' of the local paper showing how the electrical company could suply needed power at a lower cost, but chose not to do so. It was full of detail and well reasoned. It was not printed.
Last week, I sent a very short version, with no detail, just using a technical term few would understand. That one was printed. Part of this letter also included one sentence some 34 words in length - an amlost sure thing to make it rejected.
Go figure!
