The kiddos returned to school last week and have been bringing home the math homework. Man, I use to love those word problems. Just a thought...
A BMW 5-series is racing down the highway at a constant 75mph. It will take him 48 seconds to get from mile marker 1 to mile marker 2.
Now waiting for the BMW at mile marker 1 is the first of four Cadillac CTS-Vs laid out every 440 yards. As the BMW passes the first CTS-V takes off and begins to accelerate down the highway until it reaches the second CTS-V. Then the second CTS-V takes off and begins to accelerate down the highway until it reaches the third CTS-V. This continues until the fourth CTS-V passes mile marker 2 at almost the exact same time that the BMW does.
An impressive feat that is accomplished from four dead stops.
