Calculating parabola of drooping chain

[turin]

To think I nearly gave it away at the start. I actually had to edit out the answer before I posted. What a "benny" I would have been.

That sure would have been a shame. I would have missed out on the good chuckle. I don't feel bad about it either. I can't imagine how many times I've been the one to provide the chuckle.

Hahaha, this is a good one. I actually started doing it when I just thought about it for a second.
I think I'll try it on people.

I think the LESS one knows about math and physics the MORE likely they are to come up with the solution quickly. If you crack a nut with a 5lb sledge hammer you don't get the meat.

My girlfriend took about ten minutes with a ruler and caculator to see if her new bread tin had the same volume as her old one even though the shape was different. When I filled one with water, and then dumped it into the other she was not amused. That was one of the most stupid things I have ever done. -Mike

This is obvious proof that you are not 17 years old.

The girlfriend's ok, I'm the idiot.
