This is hilarious! (Although some of the questions might be a tad esoteric for those who have never served time as some species of sacristy rat. ;) ) I got Austin Farrer. Here was the breakdown of my answers: Q1. Mary is standing at the top of an 8.7 meter cliff on Mars (acceleration due to gravity = 3.711 m/s/s), holding a hollow sphere of imperturbable irryllium (mass = 552 g), which she fills with 26 cubic inches of dry ice (density = 1.4 g/cubic foot). She drops the dry-ice-filled sphere with the intent of hitting Jeff (height: 122 cm), who is standing at the foot of the cliff. To slow the descent of the sphere, Jeff generates a uniform upward telekinetic field which is able to partially offset the downward gravitational pull of the sphere. As a result, the elapsed time from Marys initial release of the sphere to its impact with Jeffs skull is 2 minutes, 52.4 seconds. Assuming ideal imperturbability, what telekinetic force (in dynes) must Jeff have generated in order to create the observed result? Answered in 1 min Ideal imperturbability cannot be assumed, and telekinesis does not exist.(William Ralph Inge) Q2. Which of these would be your preferred vacation?
