    Aye alright Bungle.

    You were the only one who knew the solution, you already had the link to that page and your use of the term &quot;old chestnut&quot; was purely coincidental.</p>

    Here's one you actually might be able to work out.</p>

    Bungle and SuperTyke both have little pink tricycles with baskets, they are 18 miles apart and pedaling towards each other. Bungle is travelling at 4 miles an hour and SuperTyke is travelling at 5 miles an hour. A bird is flying backwards and forwards between them at a speed of 1.5 miles an hour and flapping his wings three times every ten yards. When he reaches one he bounces off and returns to the other and so on. How many times does the bird flap his wings before they crash into each other and squash him?</p>

    Don't follow SuperTyke, Bungle.

    He's just as dim as you.

    I'll give you another fifteen minutes of wriggling before I tell you the answer.

    RE: LOL - That's not the solution you moron.

    But neither could you answer the other part of the question.</p>

    &quot;an infinite number of points along a line which circles the South pole&quot; very descriptive. You fail to mention how far north the line is and incorrectly call it an infinate number of points when in fact we all know that it is not an infinate number of points and is in fact quite the opposite.</p>

    So you got your question from google and still fecked up your own answer. Nicely done Sam.</p>

    It's a long 15 minutes waiting for this answer.

    I hope it's a good one! (lol)

    Ha ha ha! What a numpty!

    Why should it matter that we know what the exact distance from the pole is? You can work it out using Pi if you like.

    And a line is, by definition, an infinite number of points you idiot.

    Keep wriggling.

    Well googled.

    But we already knew that. Where's you answer to the other question you promised us?

    Guest Guest

    Were you up all night Bungle?

    Who was it at work who pointed out it can't be done?
     
  19. Gue

    Guest Guest

    Clearly your witless buddy didn't know it.

    The other thing can't be done, as you now know.

    Explain it to us then. Took a long 15 minutes didn't it?

    How many people did you have to ask? You really should stick to the insults as feigning intelligence just doesn't wash, me old chestnut!
