oi i worked it out... you have to add up the distribution of word length for the text then use that to find the expected word length it turns out to be 4... then starting from the first word you end up at the magic word using a binomial distribution with probability of success equal to...

Hey any chance your doing maths 1030 at monash clayton. I'm doing an assignment now exact same wording. Tell us if you find the answer please. I reckon its just a matter of convergence. No matter where you start in wat text if you continue through enough lines they all end up on the same path...

Thank you i didn't really get into the thought of the stuff moving past the rocket that helps a lot. But do you mean that the tree will be .5L behind the rocket and the Light a whole L infront of the rocket or the rocket will still be half way between the tree and the front of the light wave at...

I would greatly appreiciate some insight into this question to allow me to beter understand the nature of relative simultainety. A rocketship is traveling at v=.5c and passes a tree at the instant a lightning bolt strikes it. Now some time later (in referance to the rocket) say the light...
