I hope for his sake it wasn't Titus Andronicus.

That's exactly why i said it. To be, or not to be!

Right, here's a toughie:

Pure gold is extremely malleable. If you get an ounce of gold, what length of wire can be created from it? The answer is in miles by the way.

Will it not go the whole way round the world???

I'll guess 20,000 miles.

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Tue Jul 25, 2006 10:08 am

i'll go more modest: 60 miles

Mattb · Post by **Mattb** » Tue Jul 25, 2006 10:09 am

One of you is nearly 20,000 miles out. the other is actually very, very close!

Matt

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Tue Jul 25, 2006 10:12 am

75 miles?

Cardinal Sin · Post by **Cardinal Sin** » Tue Jul 25, 2006 10:12 am

Ah. Was it twice round the world?

40,000 miles.

D'oh!

Wrong way UP

I'll say no more about the cardinals guesswork. Sleuthing at its worst :P

I 'll go for 50 miles, and hopoefully beat UP's guess by milliseconds.

That's more like it. Correctomodo!

Amazing really. You can also shape a matchbox sized piece of gold to the size of a tennis court!

It'd be more amazing if it stretched round the world. Twice.

Anyway, apologies for the following question, but I don't have time to verify its authenticity.

In Germany, there is no speed limit on the autobahns, but if you go over a specified speed (not specified by me which already shows this question up as being somewhat shoddy), then your insurance isn't valid if you have a crash.

SImilarly, where in France is your car insurance not valid?

harrumph. CR would have been circling the globe again but for that hint.

You've swooped in at the 11th hour to snatch the spoils often enough, so you're getting no sympathy from me sunshine.
