Default 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?

Depends on how big her feet are.

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.

few assumptions that can be safely made:

you were always enjoying every moment of the ride...
you always had a smile (if not visible) all along the ride...

based on these assumptions, you must be cold-blooded [evolution ??]
and hence your feet isn't really frozen... so the correct answer is turn
off the water and go for another 45 minute ride and have an epic ride...

unfortunately, most of the storms that seattle gets, are off alaska -
which are cold... while in SF Bay Area, we also get the Pineapple
Express - storms out of Hawaii -- which aren't as cold as the ones out
of the Gulf of Alaska...

cheers,
ravi

Until the water coming out of the shower head isn't considered warm an
longer.
