- airwalkery2k, on 12/19/2008, -13/+913I hope he didn't get any points taken off for the Observer A portion of the question. Why would Observer A even care about the frequency when he is dead?
Stupid story questions. - apackofmonkeys, on 12/19/2008, -13/+642But if Observer B is behind the train, that means he ALREADY got run over, and HE is dead. Observer A isn't hit yet. F for reading comprehension.
- Trollbane, on 12/19/2008, -11/+630How did he know that the frequency of the whistle for the train was 430Hz?
- stillious, on 12/19/2008, -1/+545Who uses apostrophes when they are not needed? Seriously.
- user24, on 12/19/2008, -16/+327I liked the part where the student fails the question for the sake of being a smartass ;-)
- Governator88, on 12/19/2008, -38/+332Who write's the letter E like that... seriously.
- littleodie914, on 12/19/2008, -2/+266It was written right above his answer to Observer B. It was probably given out by the teacher at the last minute.
- sigmaman2, on 12/19/2008, -2/+207Because getting hit by a train HERTZ that much!!
YUK-YUK-YUK!!! - Asrrin29, on 12/19/2008, -2/+167He obviously showed he knew exactly how to do the problem, because he correctly answered the question for Observer B. Therefore I wouldn't give him points off for being technically correct.
- GrooTheWanderer, on 12/19/2008, -1/+164I used to write answers like that in high school Physics class too. Unfortunately the teacher never found it as amusing as I did :(
- Bitties, on 12/19/2008, -3/+143Your physics teacher was dead on the inside, you can't blame him.
- feanix, on 12/19/2008, -1/+128SCIENCE!
- Cyclozion, on 12/19/2008, -0/+125Wait, you mɛan not ɛvɛryonɛ writɛs thɛir Ɛs likɛ that?
- ifruit, on 12/19/2008, -7/+125I like the part where the teacher grants credit for being a witty and wholesome smart ass.
- McMahon9, on 12/19/2008, -2/+119Reminds me of Calvin and Hobbes, which is always a good thing.
- Murdats, on 12/19/2008, -3/+109Who throws a shoe? Seriously.
- Solkre, on 12/19/2008, -2/+107Or Hancock.
YES! I GOT TO TYPE HANCOCK TODAY! - McMahon9, on 12/19/2008, -0/+99Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
- chubbymandoo, on 12/19/2008, -1/+93Not if Observer A was Superman.
- Malachai, on 12/19/2008, -1/+87Twice!
Extra points. - Bitties, on 12/19/2008, -2/+87Meth is helluva drug.
- mushtakrakish, on 12/19/2008, -1/+84what the hell are you talking about?
- Shazbuckle, on 12/19/2008, -12/+93Buried for actually answering the question. I've seen way better.

- WarMachineWCLH, on 12/19/2008, -2/+81I once used "Yadda yadda yadda" to solve a proof in my Set Theory and Logic class in college because I didn't have the time to get to the end the correct way. I got full credit with a note "Very clever but don't ever do that again."
- inactive, on 12/19/2008, -0/+70your supposed to shoot a portal in front of the train then one behind you.
- inactive, on 12/19/2008, -4/+7442
- mediaspree, on 12/19/2008, -1/+70then, when a chick asks you what it means, you can reference the answer to a physics question you didn't wittingly come up with on a test you didn't take but rather saw on a tech/funny news website you sometimes visit.
FAIL! - WibWobble, on 02/02/2009, -8/+761st option was funny, rest ruined it.
- sancho, on 12/19/2008, -0/+65But either of those would change the frequency heard based upon the Doppler Effect.
- scubaninja, on 12/19/2008, -0/+64Maybe it was a forensics examination, and they wanted to find out the frequency of the last thing Observer A heard.
- dmpdpete, on 12/19/2008, -0/+60i hate myself for finding that funny
- UselessTrivia, on 12/19/2008, -1/+58More kids would be better at math if they would quit teaching it wrong. I feel exactly the same way...I sucked at math until I got into algebra...once you took out the numbers, suddenly it all made so much more sense. It was more like a puzzle.
They should really stop teaching arithmetic in about 5th grade and then move into actual math. We have calculators now. It's OK if kids don't know how to do long division...you could spend those extra few years putting real knowledge in their heads during the time when they are learning the fastest. - DeathStrawberry, on 12/19/2008, -1/+53Or obeserver B waited for the train to pass/is indirectly behind the train? And long before observer A figures out the train whistle's frequency, he'd be dead.
- petejk, on 12/19/2008, -2/+54My thought too.
- wibambau, on 12/19/2008, -3/+54Me too, that's why we have gathered here today.
- thedragon4453, on 12/19/2008, -1/+51HOLY ***** HERE COMES AN S!
- jakobmakob, on 12/19/2008, -1/+51Oh boy! Now there are two images 3/4ths of the internet sure hasn't seen yet!
- TheKingInYellow, on 12/19/2008, -4/+53i want a shirt that says:
observer a is dead - GramarNazi, on 12/19/2008, -6/+52FAKE: There aren't childish red pen corrections all over.
- bearcat8543, on 12/19/2008, -1/+45you are so 1ƐƐ7
- dirtyfrog, on 12/19/2008, -0/+44I write a capital E as a backwards 3. I am not sure why I started doing it, but I have for a while.
- wwfuspr, on 06/19/2009, -0/+43But what if the train smushed his cochlea
- theone3, on 12/19/2008, -0/+42People who owned a Palm PDA
- Namco, on 12/19/2008, -1/+41If you're investigating observer A's death for a hearing aid lawsuit, you may still need to determine the frequency of the train whistle that was audible by observer A shortly before his death.
- stk198323, on 12/19/2008, -1/+35I think it was more as an algebra question to relates the frequency heard to the original frequency as in:
F = 1,2 Fo
But the person decided to jsut use a specific frequency, saw that a lot in the class I teach. - facespaz, on 12/19/2008, -2/+36He metaphorically had a train in the inside rushing toward his cold heart.
- cawpin, on 12/19/2008, -0/+31@triscuitbiscuit - Well, if you actually looked at it you'd see that's exactly what he showed. The frequency at B is lower than at the train.
- onederboy, on 12/19/2008, -0/+31I'm guessing the last thing he heard was his voice yelling "OH SHI!!!" right before getting destroyed by that train.
- fluxion, on 12/19/2008, -0/+30or he could have considered the fact that just because you're in front of a moving train doesnt mean that you wont hear it blow its whistle before it flattens you. the question still applies, and observer A isnt dead...yet.
