Jason Lohn, a professor of electrical engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, said the competing phones Apple used in its videos "don't have the antenna's bare metal exposed to the hand, so I'd be surprised if the effect of the hand would be as pronounced as it was on the iPhone 4."

Wow - good work - a HANK of rope? I never would've gotten that
Anyhow, I did part 2 similar to Corp's. That is:
2/5 x 1/3 x P = 200 thus P =1500

The idea of terrorists attacking a concert where thousands of people would be is funny?
WOW!
Well - remember most of those thousands would be Nickelback fans

Unfortunately I'm brutal at word puzzles. Went past my 10 min goof-off allowance and hit 15 min before giving up on this one. Below are some of my guesses if they help anyone, but I couldn't even get these 6 to mesh so they probably ain't right:
Den - CAVE?
Assistant - AIDE?
Paid Players - PROS?
Hint - CLUE?
Scoundrels - ?
Coil of Rope - ?
Bloke - MATE?
Gets by, with "out" - ?
Cone Tree - PINE?
PC Command - ?

A Barbecue Festival combined with the BPO performing Pink Floyd
Should be worth checking out tomorrow

Damn, nice. I came up with the 19 as well but you got me beat.
Ehh - I should've refrained - it's a classic theory of constraints puzzle - I've seen it once before
-
I might have ever seen.
I think it works and I think they got me. I'm freaking out man - their words don't match their lips!

Your thread title has me thinking there might be more to it, but I'm not seeing it.
There is more to it. My answer is:
2 min (1+2 cross)
+
1 min (1 goes back)
+
10 min (5+10 cross)
+
2 min (2 goes back)
+
2 min (1+2 cross)
--------
17 min

Hey, thats my line....
I was not aware of that. But it is very appropriate:
But none of the people inside had the opportunity to personally thank Lucas. Once everyone was safely out of the home, Lucas jumped back onto the bus and finished his route."I knew I had to be at the Victory Center," Lucas said. "People have got to go to work. That's what we do." -
2. 20 ?
#2 is:
18
Each of the 9 boys got 1 toy fixed in 9 minutes. So the extra boy (#10) would fix one extra toy (#10) in the same 9 minutes. Thus 20 toys would be double that time or 18 minutes
#1 was tough for me. But hearing them read aloud made it easier than reading the words aloud myself. I went to Google Translate, translated from English to English, then hit the little "Listen to this translation" button. <example 1>

You kept making all the stops?
Well people kept ringing the bell

I'm shocked that only 9 people think I are a idiot.
Nomper 10 thunk youse is idjit.

Ahhhh....so you're a math guy! I found your weakness! Only word puzzles from now on!!
Yep - engineer with limited verbal (and social) skills.

Failed - couldn't get part 3 of #1, spent @10 min on #2 then gave up

So, I'm thinking of taking a 5-day vacation in Bermuda with my 23-year old daughter (no, there are no photos of her available).
That's OK. You can share the beach photos after your trip.

And what about their stupid sissy rolled up cakes? I don't need to be confused about where the cake is and where the frosting is. I like my cakes straight - thank you very much!

Congrats to Spain...
A team the USA beat last year in the Confederations Cup.
We can play with the best...
2014...USA !!!
Meh - the Confed Cup is like the third place game on Sat. Or a friendly. You like to win but you don't want to get anyone hurt. You rarely see hard fouls. Nor too physical play on defense. It's a very different game than the brutal hard fought game you saw yesterday.
-
Answered the 2 you were missing for #1.
Ahh - I'm obviously lacking in culture.
Also shrader's explanation is both clearer and more concise than mine.

Ohh, I love the math ones. Lets see:
v = velocity of stairs in steps/second
Knowing the people move at 1 step/sec,
Down guy covers: 24 = h - v · 24 or h = 24 + 24v
Up guy: 120 = h + v · 120 or h = 120 - 120v
Setting h equal to each other and solving for v:
v = 2/3 steps/sec
Plugging back into first eq:
h = 40 steps
And back to #1:
1. Famous Nurse = Florence Nightingale
2. Noteworthy Astronaut = Neil Armstrong
3. Mayor Billionaire = Michael Bloomberg
4. Played Bond = Pierce Brosnan
5. Resigned Notoriously - Richard Nixon
6. Generated Ballets - (beats me)
7. Fettered Cuba? - Fidel Castro
8. Created Drood - (what/who is Drood?)

I didn't realize or remember that the first soccer game I ever watched was the first time the World Cup used penalty kicks to decide the winner - 1982. I thought it was the most ridiculous thing I ever saw in sports, which had previously been a few minutes earlier seeing the whole injury time thing.
So, what did they do before using the PK shootout?
My earliest memory of the World Cup was also 1982. I did not watch it. But I do remember the nightly news showing all the Italians going crazy in Boston's North End.
I never really watched the World Cup until we hosted in 1994 but have been watching feverently since.

TODAY:
1.
Fill in the blanks with consonants to complete the 13-letter word below:
_ I _ _ OO _ _ A _ I _ _
2.
Use all the words below to form a chain in which each word links to next to create a common compound (or hyphenated) word or phrase. The chain starts with FIRE and links to CRACKER to make FIRECRACKER. Then CRACKER links to another word and so on. The chain comes full circle, ending with FIRE.
FIRE
CRACKER
ABOUT
BOOK
RABBIT
FAIR
DOUBLE
EXCHANGE
WALK
BOARD
FACE
CARD
BODY
PUNCH
JACK
CROSS

People really need to learn how to spend their time more productively. Holy crap.

Trochowski is getting the start for the suspended Müller who's been a bright light for Germany so far. He's going to be missed.

Wade and Bosh may be the best free agents available this year - but they hardly compare to Magic and Bird. They compare to Scottie Pippen and Horace Grant - two players Jordan was lucky enough to play with.
