Wot I Think State War Academy Caldari State 257	Posted - 2012.01.31 01:47:00 - [1] - Quote 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?
Hainnz Imperial Academy Amarr Empire 72	Posted - 2012.01.31 02:04:00 - [4] - Quote 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. :)

How long till the train exists the tunnel? 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

Dirk Magnum Sarz'na Khumatari Ushra'Khan 200	Posted - 2012.01.31 02:33:00 - [11] - Quote INTELLIGENT DESIGN. "For example, if you are thinking about selling a Republic Fleet Firetail as a regular Firetail, be sure that the market volume is high on regular Firetails and that there are plenty of buy/sell contracts for Republic Fleet Firetails. [...] The players most interested in Republic Fleet Firetails are going to be players flying regular ones."-á -- PB

Gregory Brunswick Enlightened Enterprise 0	Posted - 2012.01.31 03:47:00 - [17] - Quote 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? Single-Shard, Player Driven Sandbox. 5 words. That's what makes it special in my eyes.

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 :)

We lack serious data to provide a reliable answer!!! Do both fly in autopilot or manual all the way in? Do both pilots have Adv spaceship command maxed or not? Do both pilots have the same navigation skills? Do both pilots fly alone or some corpie it's webbing them at gates? Do both pilots are being bumped for fun by some bored capsuleer? Do both pilots have the proper clearance papers, or will some gate delay they warp in? Do both pilots carry something worthy to be ganked? Do Jita pilot GET OR NOT STUCK in Jita 4-4 after trying to warp to perimeter stargate? (personal exp i swear) Can provide more variants to prove how incomplete your original data is but i'm not bored enough
