I stand corrected (well I'm sitting anyway).

That would only create 1 right angle. The OP says angles.

bump Now we know the letter was going to Carrie Underwood. Any guesses on the rest of the address?

Thats more like it! The point I'm getting at is, even though photons travel at the speed of light, they will bounce around inside the sun, and may take up to half a million years to reach the surface and then eight minutes to reach the Earth. All the figures in the OP were diversionary. Likewise a single electron may take several hours to travel through a ten foot copper wire. Good thinking LIS (Lost In the Sun).

That guy must not be doing his job. He should have been the one to discover the body. "Get to Sweepin!"

Let's say the photon's initial trajectory is directly toward earth. Are all the photons coming from the sun generated on the surface? What about X-rays?
-
Wow. This thread really "took off".

The speed of light is approximately 300,000 kilometers per second. The radius of the sun is about 700,000 kilometers. It takes about 8 minutes for a photon to travels from the surface of the sun to Earth. If a photon is created halfway between the center of the sun and it's surface, about how long would it take the photon to reach the Earth?

What about friction?

Edit. Nevermind. After reading jelling's post.

@ Pyrobryan I don't think you understand the scenario that Martini was describing. If the Host doesn't know where the prize is your odds are 50/50. Martini knows this topic better than anybody else I've seen try to explain it. 2/3 if the host knows where the prizes are and you switch and 50/50 if the host doesn't know. I don't even know why I'm speaking on Martini's behalf he's quite capable (and I was just looking for something to do). -

Thank you. I appreciate that.

Perhaps they thought it cruel to strand him in the desert with no food or water where he would die of dehydration, so they pitched him over the side were he could enjoy a quick death.

It looks like I could pass a line through there.

AH.. I just got lucky on this one.
