Math problem for today
Ok... if a train leaves Seattle at 5:15, going 45 mph....
And another train leaves New York, going 70 mph....
And a tree falls in the forest....
How many minutes til the New York train plunges into the ocean because the engineer was too drunk to realize he was headed in the wrong direction?

It depends. Is the train going backwards or forwards in the wrong direction? Is it happy hour? Was the tree old or did it just give up on life and fall over? You make me laugh.
Amisare: The train is going backward, but the engineer thinks it's going forward. It's exactly three and a half minutes past happy hour, and the tree gave up on life after seeing one too many episodes of "American Idol".
The answer is three.
Later Y'all
It depends on what kind of tree it was.
Sixteen!
Sixteen Minutes!!!
And you thought I wasn't good at math on standardized tests!
Ha!
Then I would have to say 10 1/2, provided that the engineer had only been drinking straight vodka.
Thanks for all your comments!
I salute and respect your logic.
Some of you were close, but the correct answer is "purple."
Thanks for playing, and stay tuned for future math problems!
I dispute all these answers because the true and correct answer is - because a vest has no sleeves.
Travis: Well, sure, that's the answer you get if you use the METRIC system...
