Steinie's U3DA Game "What is it?"

[Finis]

Hmm, not enough coffee ... "I think addition has precedence so my answer is 1". I was wrong twice. First, the correct precedence for +/- is left to right. Second, if it was addition first the answer would be -1 not 1 like I picked.

Anyway, I have no ideas for a what is it so someone else start one.

Since last what is it was a math puzzle here is a similar one.
If a car goes up a 1 mile hill at exactly 30 mph how fast does it need to go down the other 1 mile side to avg exactly 60 mph for the trip?

Albert Einstein could not even figure that one out
I think it is a joke
Final answer

[Steinie]

I no longer can sleep at night! I called my uncle Albert Einsteinie and he told me the answer was EMC2 x 0.
Like a cut down tree I am stumped....

In general most everyone knows that when going 60 mph you are traveling 1 mile per minute.

The simple explanation is that to avg 60 miles per hour is that to travel the total 2 miles (1 mile up the hill and 1 mile down the other side), should take a total of 2 minutes for the trip.
Since first half of trip was at 30mph that means in the first mile up the hill the total time of the 2 minutes was used up so no matter how fast you go in the second mile you will never average 60, even at infinite speed.

I tried to show this by calculations using math but I gave up. It's over my head but I'm sure some 5th grader can do it.

I think uncle Albert Einsteinie answer of EMC2 x 0 is pretty close.

I am now convinced that the answer to every question is "Einsteinie".

Good one!

Happy Birthday Einsteinie

yes, but what is the "mile"? ;p

[Steinie]

I don't want to get too off track but this is what happened to me yesterday. I went to a Phillies Game which my daughter (supposedly) bought me a ticket for the game. Probably the cheap seats in the nose bleed section. She kept going up an escalator into glass door that said Hall of Fame Club where all my family and friends surprised me wearing my picture on their t-shirts. Great time.
Thanks trueBlue!

OK back to the game...
