Yes thank you all. I learned quite a bit.

Thank you @Jenny Physics . I believe that this thread has served it's original purpose. If others would like to continue the discussion of issues, suppositions, or conundrums related to the premise of the original puzzle, I suggest that that discussion be taken to one of the technical forums. The homework question here has been resolved.

I am closing this thread as it has served its initial purpose.

If anyone feels that there is something substantive and relevant to add to the solution of the original problem as posed, please feel free to PM a mentor to request that your submission be added.
