Im stuck on a logic problem, I was hoping one of you smart people could drop me a few hints. Here it is:
You trace a PC across the globe, you end up with two coordinates.
One lies at 80 00 00N, 007 45 00E; the other at 70 00 00S, 007 45 00E.
While you plan your next attack, you suddenly get curious... and want these questions answered:
1. How far away are these two towns from each other in kilometers.
2. If a car drives 200km/h, how long would it take for you to drive from one town to the other?

im saying its a trick question because if your tracing "a" pc that is only one pc, and there cannot be more then one pc at each location by the way u said that.
also, the meter system is based in 10s
1 km=1000m 1hm=100m 1dm=10m 1dec=.10m 1cm=.01m 1mm=.001m as in killa, hectre, deca, meter, deci, centi, milli respectively.
and as for ur coordinates...... take a look at the numbers, 1 is 80,000 north, if im not mistaken, and the other at 70,000 south. if u were to start at coordinates 0,0 and go to the first coords u would go 80,000 km. if u wanted to go south then u would be going 80,000 to get to 0, then 70,000 south, so my answer is 150,000 km apart or break that down into 150 km. now if ur going 200 km an hour and u need 150 km i think its distance/kilometers an hour=150/200= .75 hours or 3/4 of an hour or 45 minutes.

However, stabbing could still be done. It's not like it would be very hard to stab someone with a razor.
