cant work this out myself.

There's going to be another new system? Is this one without numbers or letters?

Ah, no, I mean 'new' as in the one we've had for... well, however many decades we've had it now. The one that superceded "letter - three numbers - three letters".

I think the next system will be muddy brown digits on a muddy brown background, which reads, if you look very carefully, "whatevah!"

Age is not an excuse, I’m 48 and was probably at school at the same time as you, and I can still remember how to do really really simple sums.
As for parties, what in hell name as that go to do with the price of cheese. Yes I am the life and soul of any party I go to, so much people call me “Mr party maker” I’m the guy that Pink wrote the song about, you know the one!
“Get this party started, on a Saturday night; everybody's waiting for me to arrive”
I guess you’re no fun at the dart board?

well well well he is a barrel of laughs after all.
The internet brings em out in full display every time.
Comments like that are only put on a forum to make yourself look good.
well im shoot at maths and i admit it, do i feel bad about it no, do i ride at 25mph no.
Do i give a shoot no, but given thae chance no lifes like you will be in there every time.
I have a party saturday night, the guy who does the running is a kickboxer, maybe you and him can get aquainted.
To clarify a little the guy takes a slow jog for the first mile, then alternates sprinting/ joggin on the way back.

Someone should print this off and put it in a time capsule so that future generations may know what internet forums were.

2 miles in 19 minutes = 1 mile in 9.5 minutes. Divided 60 (minutes) by 9.5 = 6.3157894 MPH

Spurious accuracy.

(Sorry - pet hate of mine!)

This is purely "out of interest" (don't shoot me........I'm one of the 5 that answered.)
I'm now 65 and when I were nowt burralad we learned our 10 X table by rote.......we literally had to chant it out every day to the point we no longer had to think about it. Some years ago I was with a guy and his 16 year old high school son who was trying to work an equation out and he asked me "whats 9 X 7" and I responded without thinking-63.
His expression and amazement was staggering......as was the fact he didn't know.

I know the answer!

6 hours, 14 gallons of white paint and four shovels. And the outline on the map is that of Kuwait.

All those answers were wrong in my Frech O-Level, but I'm hoping they'll be right be now....

Passage of time and all that.

"A bit more than 6mph" is a better answer than "6.3157894 mph". Partly because it's more useful, partly because the latter answer implies that you can measure both time and distance accurately to the 8th decimal place - that is to the nearest micron and microsecond respectively.
