math problem

If a bicyclist rides for 45 minutes at 10 mph when it's 6 degrees C in a
rainstorm in the dark, upon arrival at home, for how long does she have to
shower with water at 41 C before her toes thaw out?

Hmmm. Does that include hubby rubbing them after they come out of the
frozen shoes? It's below 0 C here of a morning. Gonna have to start
wearing warmer shoes?

Same as any other time -- until the hot water runs out!

Insufficient data. We need to know the size of her toes and her
heartrate. BTW, given the question shouldn't that be "Frozen Regards"?

just plain regards,

Five minutes beyond the water heater's capacity.

Claire could try drinking a hot beverage that is almost, but not quite
entirely unlike tea.

From the Doctor Who (Peter Davison) story: "The Awakening":
Turlough:"I quite miss that brown liquid they drink here."
Will Chandler:"Ale?"
Turlough:"No. Tea."
Will Chandler:"What be tea?"
The Doctor:"Oh, a noxious infusion of oriental leaves containing
a high percentage of toxic acid."
Will Chandler:"Sounds an evil brew, don't it?"
The Doctor:"True. Personally, I rather like it."

On a blustery PNW night, a pint o' grog hits
the spot. So does clam chowder, minestrone,
Lipton's (chicken noodle) cup 'o soup, hot
cocoa, or hot-&-sour soup from your best local
Chinese take-out place. And wonton noodle soup
w/ BBQ whatever, and a li'l dish of that chili
seed + orange rind in oil sauce on the side.
And gai lan & black bean sauce. And maybe
some pot stickers.


cheers,
Tom
