How long does it take to go 80 miles at 80mph?

It seems simple at first…

1 hour.

…. 😕

* keeps quiet just in case

edit: wot hex sed ^ [maybe]

Boat or plane ? Depends on tide or wind speed/direction. Measured against what reference too, earth’s rotation.

Are you factoring in the 20 minutes when you sit shamefaced in the back of a police car pretending that you had no idea how fast you were really going in a 40mph zone?

30 mins if Trump says it is

Rolling or standing start ?

8 minutes.

Are you on a treadmill?

80mph on a conveyor belt ??? 🙂

Swedish miles or an African swallow?

is this an allusion to that Dumb American you tube video?

4 weeks and a prawn sandwich.

On a 650b or 29er?

Are you factoring in the deceleration from the 2,700,000 mph we are travelling through space?

60 minutes*
*not accounting for relativistic effects.

At alt speed… No more than 10 minutes

ok, if you went at 100mph for the first half hour, how fast would you need to go for the second half hour to average 80

8 more MPH and it would take minus thirty years.

What tyres?

8 more MPH and it would take minus thirty years.

Conveyor belts? Where we’re going we won’t need conveyor belts.

ok, if you went at 100mph for the first half hour, how fast would you need to go for the second half hour to average 80

60mph obvs*. Is this like those competitions on the tellybox designed I presume to entice stupid people into thinking that they are the only ones who know the answer to questions like this?

* Assuming immediate deceleration from 100 to 60…

Conveyor belts? Where we’re going we won’t need conveyor belts.

😆

You could go to Joe Cockers funeral though.

On a 650b or 29er?

It’d have to be a road bike surely..? You couldn’t maintain speed on a MTB.

ok, if you went at 100mph for the first 40 miles, how fast would you need to go for the second 40 miles to average 80

mean or median?

ok, if you went at 100mph for the first 40 miles, how fast would you need to go for the second 40 miles to average 80

66.6666 mph.

what would median mean in such a context?

Viz

Drivers – avoid being nicked by the new average speed cameras by doing 90mph for 2 minutes then stopping for a spliff

what would median mean in such a context?

I’m trying to think of a clever answer, but what would happen if you sampled the speed every mile rather than every minute?

Will there be a comfort break halfway?

The tyre turning thing obviously affects it.

african or european?

Was it the fault of the EU?

Assuming mph is miles per hour not metres per hour – the defintion of (constant) 80mph is travelling 80 miles in an hour. So how can the answer not be one hour? What am I missing?

Or is this an oblique reference to Zeno’s dichotomy paradox?

Metric or Imperial Miles?

😆 @ scuttler

If I go 80mph for one hour, how far have I gone? ** Mind Blown **

how far have I gone?

depends what route you take – it your on the M25 you’ll be 37 miles away from where you started (and in quite a bit of trouble when you open the post in a few days time)

if its around the circumference of a 25 mile wide circle you’ll have gone nowhere …fast.
