    Stupid
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a playful and humorous exchange in a new forum, encouraging participants to ask "stupid questions" and receive equally silly answers. Participants engage in lighthearted banter, often incorporating puns and wordplay, such as discussing the time it might take to reach 1,000 posts or the best superpower, with self-levitation being a favorite. Questions range from the absurd, like the fate of old forums, to whimsical inquiries about elephants and the universe. The tone is irreverent, with users joking about the nature of their questions and the concept of "stupidity" in their responses. The thread serves as a space for creative and nonsensical dialogue, emphasizing fun over seriousness.

What time is it when the clock strikes 2:32 PM?
2:32pm and 00 seconds but then you might want to consider the speed of sound and what distance you are awya before you hear it so it should be more.

Can anyone be bothered to formulate an equation for it?

Someone might be able to, but I can't be arsed.

However, clocks tend only to strike on the hour, rather than at 32 minutes past. (Was the answer "time to get a new clock"?)


What is the angle between the hour hand and the minute hand at 2.32?

Well I am going to go with this.

The hour hand is going to be between the 1 and the 2. It is going to be \frac{32}{60} = \frac{8}{15}th of the way from the 1 to the 2. This means that I need the angle that is occupied between the 1 and the 2. This angle is \frac{360}{12} = \frac{90}{3} = 30°

This means the angle from the 1 is \frac{8}{15} \times 30 = 16°

This means that the angle we will be interested in is 30 - 16 = 14°

Between the 2 and the 6 there will be 30 \times 4 = 120°

There are 5 minutes in between (well 5 sections) and this means that there are 30 \times \frac{2}{5} = 12°

This means the angle between the hour hand and the minute hand is 14° + 120° + 12° = 146° degrees.

This is to assume that the minute hand is on the 32nd minute e.g. it it 2:32 and 0 seconds.

Can anyone be bothered to work it out if there were an x number of seconds as well? :smile:

No.

Do you realize that at 2:32 the hour hand will be between the 2 and the 3?

You shouldn't be mistaking yourself for me anymore, we covered this already. when referring to yourself, you say 'me', not 'you'.

Nothing at all, because that is the opposite of what is true (sorry I couldn't think of something better this time), though you comment was pretty bad.

Why did she say licking the whipped cream down under is orally pleasing? I hope that was aurally pleasing...

They don't have legs and so they don't have the musculature that we associate with our asscheeks.

Because evening is passe and the night is around.

The night is round because it follows the moon.

You have to answer the last posters question first and then post an answer. Honestly. :-p

Well fog is but when it is in a large group it is happy and that is why it is more likely to be found at night because it is scared and finds others. In the day, it is not scared and is on its own.

What is the purpose of the rubber duck?

Somehow... i doubt that.

How come everytime i post in here, someone says something distracting and my questions never get answered?

Probably because the answer to the preceding question was not particularly notable, and the accompanying question is completely unrelated and usually, rather daft.

You must learn to realize the truth.... There is no energy.

Entropy is low, very low.

What type of phoenix is best at taking the energy from its source?

Ok. The bottle of wine is finished and the wife's in bed. Suddenly Einstein seems lost and only Hawkins has the answer. Is he the Einstein of Our Times? and would he help me with the design of my permanent magnet no-external-power motor...

B.T.W. I do have a PM3 motor design and have had some results. Reading up on the Adams Motor and the FluxGate etc I see where they went wrong and where I went wrong. I have the pieces of the puzzle now. Watch this space...

allah was anything but mute - mutable, maybe - but, mute, no; but that's not an answer to a stupid quetion, this is: confusius only confuses, greatly.


If you put confusius in a fusion-driven space ship, traveling at the speed of meditative thought, could you go all the way pre-medieval china without passing goethe?
