The problem as stated said nothing at all about movement other than
vertical.

Very good, you've been practicing. Now if you could only get to the
point where you can tell that you said exactly what I said.

You said that you're a dumbass?

It DID ask by how much the rope would need to be LENGTHENED to RAISE
it 6 inches.

Oooooh, doing good so far.

Even assuming that your mind is too limited to comprehend negative
numbers, RW's answer of 0 is still correct.

Nope. Wrong. Just plain wrong.

If you are still having trouble with what it means to raise something,
try to think of what happens to you relative to the position of your
seat (or to your blood pressure, for that matter) every time I do this
to you.

Dumb and conceited are two traits that don't mix well. I'd suggest you
pick just one to excel at. Dumb would seem the natural one to pick, but
feel free to challenge yourself.

Well, actually, I was going to pick clever......but you seem to have a lock
on that. Can you give me some time to think about it?

There's infinite answers, but apparently finite number of people smart
enough to understand them. ;-)

O.k., so, it is your position that Joe didn't write: "You have a rope pulled
snugly around the earth at the equator (diameter = 7,926 miles +/-). How
much length would you need to add to the rope to raise it 6 inches off the
earth at all points?" Very well, I'm perfectly willing to concede the
possibility. However, this naturally (I think) raises the question of what
he actually DID write. Since we don't have any clues other than the text
that appeared in the message that someone claiming to be Joe posted, I think
all we can do is guess. I'll go first......and then, if you have another
idea (or something that resembles one, anyway) you can offer it. O.k.?

Maybe he actually wrote: "That brown **** oozing out of kennie's and
stevie's ears MAY be milk chocolate......but NOBODY here is big enough to
make ME test it".

Whattya think?

One great thing about Wolfgang -- more than likely the only good thing
-- is that if you want an enemy, he's a good one to have. :-)

Nope. You're recklessly "assuming" again.


We'll see.


The problem statement doesn't state that the rope has to stay positioned
over the equator


Nor does it include the option of any movement other than verticle. So?

Evidently, your German heritage compels you to believe that anything not
expressly permitted is forbidden.

If you wanted an enemy, I could teach even you what BAD means.

Anyway, kennie seems to have smoked his remaining synapse. Maybe you can
tell me what Joe wrote.

Good luck.

Ah! The Germans are behind this! Well, I might have guessed it.

Anyway, you were going to tell me what Joe wrote?

I don't think he warrants the "enemy" label. It's more like
trying to argue with a 2 year old. :-)

And here you are.

Anyway, here's a sobering thought. Did you know that they let engineers
play an instrumental role in designing and building things? Even
potentially dangerous things......like guns, airplanes, forks, shoes,
mittens..........

The corrct answer is: The hotel has $25, the bellhop has $2, and each guest
has $1 for a total of $30. There is no missing dollar.

p.s. What I always loved about math (and yes, I'm a geek), is that nobody
needs to tell you if your answer is the right answer. When you understand
it, you already *know* if you have the right answer. But for the record,
the correct answer to the question I thought I posed is Pi (3.1415...) feet.
