    Stupid
In summary, a group of individuals are discussing a new forum and its purpose of asking and answering "stupid questions." They discuss topics such as how long it takes to reach 1000 posts, the existence of the old forums, the best superpower, an elevator that goes sideways, and the reasons behind posting in this forum. They also explore the question of why they ask questions and the possible theories that have not been invented. Eventually, the conversation turns to the expansion of the universe and the orbit of planets around stars.

Who else was offended by that anti-drug commercial comparing your brain to an egg?

I'm used to being called an egghead, didn't bother me.

Where did that term come from?

1907, "bald person," from egg (n.) + head. Sense of "intellectual" is attested from 1918, among Chicago newspapermen; popularized by U.S. syndicated columnist Stewart Alsop in 1952 in ref. to Adlai Stevenson's presidential campaign.

Do you have the quiz show "Eggheads" in America?

So, do you have the quiz show "Eggheads" in America? :biggrin:

Because religion started everything.

I believe David Bowie'shttp://areaology.com/area.html does not permit the sharing of poopsicles.

Does anyone else find poopy spank to be an aurally pleasing phrase?

2:32 PM.

What time is it when the clock strikes 2:32 PM?

Bartholomew said:

2:32pm and 00 seconds but then you might want to consider the speed of sound and what distance you are awya before you hear it so it should be more.

Can anyone be bothered to formulate an equation for it?

  • #2,054
Someone might be able to, but I can't be arsed.

However, clocks tend only to strike on the hour, rather than at 32 minutes past. (Was the answer "time to get a new clock"?)


What is the angle between the hour hand and the minute hand at 2.32?

Well I am going to go with this.

The hour hand is going to be between the 1 and the 2. It is going to be [tex]\frac{32}{60} = \frac{8}{15}[/tex]th of the way from the 1 to the 2. This means that I need the angle that is occupied between the 1 and the 2. This angle is [tex]\frac{360}{12} = \frac{90}{3} = 30°[/tex]

This means the angle from the 1 is [tex]\frac{8}{15} \times 30 = 16°[/tex]

This means that the angle we will be interested in is [tex]30 - 16 = 14°[/tex]

Between the 2 and the 6 there will be [tex]30 \times 4 = 120°[/tex]

There are 5 minutes in between (well 5 sections) and this means that there are [tex]30 \times \frac{2}{5} = 12°[/tex]

This means the angle between the hour hand and the minute hand is [tex]14° + 120° + 12° = 146°[/tex] degrees.

This is to assume that the minute hand is on the 32nd minute e.g. it it 2:32 and 0 seconds.

Can anyone be bothered to work it out if there were an x number of seconds as well? :smile:

No.

Do you realize that at 2:32 the hour hand will be between the 2 and the 3?

Hell yes, it's like the slow realisation of the impending contrast between good and evil.
