Okay sbl. Listen to this, it's quite complicated, but hey you can answer any question right?

 

One train was travelling north-west at 101 miles per hours. One train was heading to Boston at 98 miles per-hour. The third train was travelling to Santa Monica 127 miles per-hour. The second train had approximately 3 stops that took 7 minutes each. The first train took 2 stops at an average of 4 minutes each. What was the average length of a stop for the third train if the length of the first and second train joined together was 56 percent of the third trains trip?

Here's a thinker for ya :wink:

A 'snooker' table (measuring 8 metres by 4m) with 4 'pockets' (measuring 0.5m and placed at diagonal slants in all 4 corners) contains 10 balls (each with a diameter of 0.25m) placed at the following coords:

2m,1m...(white ball)

...and red balls...

1m,5m... 2m,5m... 3m,5m

1m,6m... 2m,6m... 3m,6m

1m,7m... 2m,7m... 3m,7m

 

The white ball is then shot at a particular angle from 0 to 360 degrees (0 being north, and going clockwise).

Just to make it clear, a ball is 'potted' if at least half of the ball is in area of the 'pocket'

 

Assuming the balls travel indefinitely (i.e. no loss of energy via friction, air resistance or collisions), answer the following:

 

a: What exact angle/s should you choose to ensure that all the balls are potted the quickest?

b: What is the minimum amount of contacts the balls can make with each other before they are all knocked in?

c: Same as b, except that each ball - just before it is knocked in - must not have hit the white ball on its previous contact (must be a red instead of course).

d: What proportion of angles will leave the white ball the last on the table to be potted?
