This question is a lot harder than you might think, as you can see in this video here:
Things to take into account:
* How heavy is the car?
* Is the car a stick or an automatic?
* Are you driving faster than a mile a minute?
Clearly, the guy forgot to whack his answer in half. (via Buzzfeed)

Also, how long does it take you to run a mile?

@blackspiders@xanga - And how many times your tires spin.

A part of me wants to feel bad for this girl, but I’m laughing too hard.

It’s a good thing she’s pretty.

If you want a mathematical response:
60 miles/per is a mile a minute so if you traveled 60 miles that would be and hour.
For 80 miles per hour you are traveling 1.3333333333(continuing the 3) miles per minute (80 miles divided by 60 minutes). And if you multiply 1.33333333333333 miles by 60 minutes (one hour), you get 80 miles…….
OR! for the logical response: You could just think about the statement. 80 MILES PER HOUR means that you travel 80 miles in ONE HOUR.

And people like her are why us blondes get such a bad rep….. *sigh* -_____-

I didn’t really get annoyed with her until he TOLD her and explain and she refused to believe him. I was hoping she’d go “ooooooh, duh” but no, she kept arguing. Making her officially an idiot. Ah well, there will always be some I guess.

@Digital_Angel21@xanga - agreed.
i was hoping the chick would just feel really stupid about what she said about tire rotations and the bit about her running a mile (why would that have anything to do with a car?) but when he explained it and she was like NO YOU CUT IT IN HALF i would have just smacked her. seriously.

Someone please tell me this is a joke…
guest
i think he needs to explain to her the meaning of the word “per”.
guest
That’s his wife? And he thinks its funny? I fear for the children she raises someday.

I’ve been there before and just completely over thought a question and felt completely stupid afterwards. Honestly, I was thinking that if you drive at 80mph, you have to factor in the drag co-efficient of the car and the rolling resistance of the tires to determine the true speed of the car…but then I quickly realized those factors only affect the power needed to generate the speed, not the speedometer itself so duh =P

It really depends on the route of travel. You see, if you are traveling in a circle, then you really don’t go anywhere. So, if the circle were 20 miles in circumfrence, then you went 20 miles, 4 times.
But since the earth is not flat, you are really traveling in a very slight arc, so you must use polar equations. Hence ABsin(theta) will give you the vector cross product of the distance between an arc lenght from A to B.
You got it?
As for the blonde, all I have to say is this: I’ve never said this to anyone and meant it, but you trip over cordless phones.
Also watching her breaks my heart cuz I can see she is flirting with intelligence but is getting the cold shoulder.
guest
How long is an hour though?

He. Married. Her.
His argument is invalid.

I question her education.

LMAO does she not realize most of those mile tracks are cut into quarters? 7 minute mile my ass.
This was hilarious! xD

That was painful. P.A.I.N.F.U.L. That guy married her…? When she has babies, she’s going to pass her dumb DNA and then the world will turn to shit just like in Idiocracy.
