I'll take a guess and mention the Education system of today compared
to yesterday. What are the kids taught today? 1+1=5.. The answer is
wrong but they tried so they get an "A". Or, 1+1= what? The kid thinks
for a moment.. He gets an "A" for thinking!

What does that say for Easy games? The kid ain't going to try to learn
a hard game because it's just that, too hard, He'll get an A if he
doesn't try though. So, the easier a game is, the easier a kid can
excel, and who wants a dumb kid?

Just my take on it and again goes off topic a bit on in to politics.

Wouldn't that be your highest and lowest speed in the race divided by 2?

by **Ian Hil** » Tue, 29 Feb 2000 04:00:00

No... think about it. If you drove for 1 second at 200 mph and then 1 hour
at a standstill your method would give you an answer of 100mph average. And
then if you did it the other way round - 1 second at a standstill and 1 hour
at 200mph - your method would *still* give 100mph. The correct method is
total distance divided by total time.

I grabbed a dictionary and looked it up, you're right on the spelling
differences.

BTW: you tried to answer the question so you get an "A". ;-)

I doubt they'll go that low, what a scam it was and how morally pathetic
those people are. Oh I forgot, they promoted GLOW women wrestling around
the world, so it can't go much lower ;)

I figured that out pretty quick and should have taken more than 2 seconds to
think about it before I made a fool of myself. Oh well. I'll just go hang my
head in shame for a while. FYI I was just wondering about Viper Racing and
was curious about how fast my average miles per hour is. I working on my
career mode and am finally in GT. I had forgotten how much fun this game is.

Anyway, thanks for the help. Next time I'll take a little time and figure it
out on my own though.

Was that the show where the guy gave the right answers on the wrong
questions?

To bring it on topic, simplifying shows isn't the only thing what is
happening lately. The same is going on with *** simulations.
They're doing that because simple games are selling better. I know,
this is discussed here many times, but I wonder why this is happening.
Can anyone tell me if there has been some research on this topic?

Who is the "average public" anyway?

It;s "marque", not "marquee"!
The latter is a type of tent!

And the team was RALT?
