The sequence that would need to occur is so unlikely that we may never see it happen.

Two trains are driving toward one another. The first train leaves Town A at 5am traveling at 60 miles per hour. The second train leaves Town B at 7am traveling at 70 miles per hour. the distance between Town A and Town B is 455 miles.
 

What is the EXACT time that the collision will occur?

He doesn't want to miss his train

That I finally now know how to score a single point in football, thought I’d find the answer of another mystery that’s escaped me for too long.

You must show your work in long division.

 

(anyone remember that teacher rule?)

You'd have to calculate how fast each train gets up to that speed and the wind resistance.

I thought this was a sneaky NFL London promotion by the Eggman.

It's actually come close to happening in the NFL a couple times. Interestingly, it's happened in college at least twice, and the same announcer was calling both games even though they were about ten years apart.

Strange. So an XP block returned to the far endzone isn’t 1 point? 😳🤔

And the wind confusion coefficient

Isn’t that 2 points?

Don't tell McDermott. He will try and play it safe and not even attempt extra points.

 

The Bills have had 2 hail Marys work against them in recent memory and have a QB that can throw 80 yards. How many hail Marys have they tried? McDermott said it's too risky of a play...for the offense because the defense could intercept it and return it for a TD 🫩

That's a forfeit.

I stink at mathematics, but by definition wouldn’t the wind resistance have to be already factored in to the same equation that determines how long it takes each train to get up to that speed?  🤷. I was a poly-sci/history major in college so just feel free to ignore me however! 😅

No. It's two points.

3am.  The same damn time we all seem to randomly wake up for no damn good reason.
