ost_uid0="SSJKarma"]really you sure you're good at MATHS ? cause i am not very good in myself and still even a baby would know that you cannot be OPEN MINDed in resolving those kind of equation !

its like if i asked you the answer to this...

there are 70 fruits in the bag...
20 apples and 5 oranges.
in the bag there is also STRAWBERRIES, RASPEBERRIES and TOMATOES. how many tomatoes is there in that bag ?

see, there is nothing we can do to solves such a problem cause there is variables we don't know that can actually be anything !

the only thing we can do is say what the numbers could be, without actually prooving it !

example:
20+5+X+Y+Z=70
there is no way to find X, Y or Z without only guessing !
the answer in this case, would be something like this...
X could be ... 1
Y could be ... 1
Z could be ... 43

see, too many solution possible, but there will never any way to actually proove what's int he bag without having all the facts in themselves !

same goes for your equation with the bird.

he could be so fast that he could travel 5 times the distance before the two trains meets.
he could be so slow that never will he get on the other train before they actually cross each other.
see what i mean now ?

we can be open minded like you say, but logically its another impossibility ![/quote]
See Karma.. when I meant be open minded,
I didn't mean form up numbers from your head that weren't there
All you needed to solve that equation were given in the initial question.. EXCEPT THE SPEED OF THE BIRD
Which 2000Warrior and Sbyrd asked and I gave it to them *yeah the smart ones :biggrin: *
I said be open minded and not think about the possibilities of a bird flying 60km/hr..
It might be possible or not.. Who cares??
The nos are there for you to solve the question and not to ponder about..
It was a really easy question and all you needed was to calculate the time it would take for the 2 trains to collide.. simple!
The trajectory of the bird wasn't needed
It was just to confuse many... (and I must say.. it worked! :biggrin: )
So you see it wasn't that hard..
Be expecting more in the future :biggrin:
