Why?

Why?

If a train leaves town A at a velocity of ....

Okay Englisch is not my first language....can you explaine that jankokosec:thinking:

 

[Tjerk12]

Rozas, I think this is rather obvious:
If a train leaves town A at a velocity of twice the age of the conductor, what is the total weight of the passengers?
Simple as that!

The simplest question is the one that the person being asked already knows the answer to.

Couldn't have put it better myself.
The answer, obviously, is 3.

Rosas, these guys are fucking with your mind!

"If a train leaves town A at a velocity of .... " It's the beginning of a question that is very commonly used in beginning algebra classes in the USA (& maybe other English-speaking countries, I don't know).

It's considered a "simple" math question & is used in almost every math class in the USA. It goes something like this: "If a train leaves town A at 100 km per hour to go to Town C, which is 500 km away, and another train leaves Town B at the same time at 150 km per hour, which train will arrive at Town C first if Town B and Town C are 700 km apart?"

All the other stuff was just joking around & adding to the confusion.

I couldn't bear watching you suffer any more! Hope this helps.

Okay Urban, let's change the subject: now biology

What is the difference between a dead bird?

Now that's a simple question: 3 feathers and a wishbone, of course!

 

[Tjerk12]

Yes! Nice to talk with people with general knowledge.

ok a simple question...if i ask a question then is it a question to you or someone else?

Oh No, Rozas. It is more a matter of generation gap.
This is the kind of humor from the sixties and the seventies. Total nonsense that could last for hours. Super silly, but we liked it.

For example:
It glides fast from the mountain and is very healthy. A Skiwi.
It is red, is sitting in a tree and doesn't move. A dead fire truck.
It rides on rails, lays eggs, warms you up and sprays water:
A Locomochickenstovephant.

Stupid humor, but after enough beers it appeared to be very funny.

When it is a nice question, you must be addressing it to me. When it is an awkward question, you probably mean somebody else.
