Quote: Could a vector calc nerd build a remote controlled rocket powered car or build a raft from raincoats and row accross the San Fran Bay?Answer:Yes! And do the maths too.Note: But probably wouldn't - silly idea ;-)
Quote: However, I solved it on the basis that one had to cover a certain distance to get to shelter.Ho ho! You haven't read the article then have you! Maybe we shouldn't comment before reading the Digg.As to "who the f**k cares" - the author says get an umbrella.Read the article people - it is superb.Madge
Look - er - how do I explain this. The Digg I submitted is now on the front page of Digg. So folks must be interested. The Digg is a BBC article about a math modelling - what's mythbuster got to do with this? I am genuinely amused - it all looks a bit stupid to me ;-)
