Jita and Amarr are 184 lightyears apart. A freighter leaves Jita traveling towards Amarr, and another freighter leaves Amarr at the same time, traveling towards Jita. The freighter leaving Jita averages 10 lightyears per hour more than the other, and they meet after 1 hour 36 minutes. What are the average speeds of the freighters? |

There's a train 1 mile long travelling at 60 miles per hour and it enters a tunnel that is 1 mile long.
How long till the train exists the tunnel? |

CCP was nice enough to give us a calculator in-game. In the spirit of EVE, they have given you the tools to figure out such problems for yourself. :) |

Is that a nautical mile or a land mile?
The game has a tutorial that gives you a mining laser and a railgun and tells you to go shoot rocks and red crosses. It teaches you nothing else. It's been that way for 8 years, so are you really surprised that there are people who aren't aware that this is a pvp game? --Jafit McJafitson |

Trick question, all pilots start with Jita being a blocked site, the freighter from Amarr never arrives.

Where do the freighter collide and kill everyone onboard?

Approximately 55 light years an hour is the average for the two ships shmucks.

184 ----- meet at time 1h 36m --- a is traveling at 10 lyh faster than b or 2y + 10
D = R x T
D= 184 light years
R= D/T
T = 1 h 36 m
What do we have? Distance, and time.
184/ 1.67 hrs = 110.18 light years an hour
110.18 light years an hour is the rate of the two combined
110.18 = 2y +10
100.18 = 2y <---- rounding it down for simplicity
100 = 2y
50 = y
a = 50, b = 60 (remember one is going 10 light years per hour faster than the other)
(50 + 60)/ 2 = 55
Someone please confirm or point out error in logic. |

There's a 12ft long car and a 6ft long garage with a door on each end. How fast does the car need to be going (relative to the garage) to fit inside with both doors closed, and does the car shrink or the garage stretch?

Incorrect. You have an error in logic. 1h 36m = 96m = 1.6hr. You used 1.67hrs.
Average speed is (52.5 + 62.5) / 2 = 57.5 ly/hr. The meet after Freighter1 travels 84ly and Freighter2 travels 100ly.

OP hasn't explained the relative position or movement of the observers and wether or not a Lorentz transformation needs to be applied to the process. |

Dumb mistake on my part. Thanks for pointing it out. I wouldn't call it a error in logic however. The logic was sound, the error was in converting the minutes into a fraction of an hour. |

I actually heard scientists made a similar mistake recently where they did not take into account the spinning of the earth (or movement of earth through space, don't recall exactly). Easy thing to miss :) |

10 ly / h diifference -> 16 ly difference after 1:36h
184 ly - 16 ly / 2 = 84 ly
Thus..
Slow freighter: 84 ly in 1:36h = 52.5 ly / h
Less slow freighter: 100 ly in 1:36 = 62.5 ly / h

Here I used to have a sig of our old Camper in space. Now it is disregarded as being the wrong format.
Looking out the window I see one thing: Nothing wrong with the format of our Camper! Silly CCP......

If the tunnel doesn't exist yet, then I think the train will be instantly destroyed upon attempt to "enter" it. So, A. infinity?
