You'll get a big green check mark saying correct and a slap on the back comment. Forgot what that comment was.
Still had it up on in my browser from yesterday.

CONGRATS YOU DAREDEVIL, YOU CROSSED THE FINISH LINE WITH THE RIGHT ANSWER!

Also, be aware that this is almost certainly taxable income...

$97,000 * XX = Uncle Sam's pocket

XX = your taxrate (likely to jump up from a ~$100K increase over your typical yearly income...


My guess is $30K in taxes????


:eek:
I knew there was some reason I kept 30k in the gun safe :)

Man I am starting to wish I would have read the question correctly.....b/c I could have been entered in this week :unsure: I have 4 more questions to get a shot at one of these though lol I suspect the questions will get harder as they go though...

maybe by week 3, as long as you get a correct answer your odds will be high b/c I bet people aren't willing to be that closely involved with this kind of challenge that long....people have short attention spans!

great win for uncle Sam, I've known 2 people over the years that won cars and had to sell them to get what they can out of them and pay big brother.

....its a touch over 98 seconds &/or 15,123.16 ft. given the assumed accel (from zero), of 2.93fp/s. (on level ground)
The math isnt that hard, but its not 1 simple equation. Don't forget to account for slope of 6.4%. Supplied info states "reach the top" and shows point A to point B, A being the bottom start point.

I’d still gladly pay $30K for a Redeye :) I know...not everyone is prepared for that.

Oh no!

The answer that I thought I had vetted out got removed today...

Yeah.....I spent too much time trying to figure it out and had to refresh. I made my semi-educated guess and I received a message reaffirming that I won't be working at NASA anytime soon.

:oops:
I tried to go back in today and enter another hashtag...since it seemed like you could enter a new secret hashtag each day until the next question, and as soon as I signed in, I got a message that I had to wait until next week when the new question came out.

I still can't find an interpretation of the question and clues that coincides with the allegedly correct answer... :unsure:

So far excluding the grade factor results in a total time slower than the time that people have said was correct, including a factor, any negative factor anyway, results in an even slower time, which is obviously going in the wrong direction.

So when this is all said and done, as much as anything, I want (NEED) to see what logic was applied to the Kinematics and moreso the vector that resulted in the answer.

I'm no social media or hashtag expert by any means....so I didn't hold out much hope for myself finding anything "secret" in the postings.....and I didn't. I also saw nothing that looked like secret clues to the correct answer. I did the standard time/distance equation and got an answer for level time/speed/distance. I couldn't remember how to calculate the incline differential, and since it was going uphill, I couldn't use the terminal velocity constant. I did some conversions for m/s/s and before I knew it, I had 9 different scientific equations open. At that point, I again regretted not paying the attention to the teacher that I paid to the girl who sat across from me in physics class......Diane was her name. After some additional irrational rationalization of mass, speed, uphill, gravitational effect, coefficient of friction, and a bunch of other B.S......while daydreaming about the aforementioned Diane.....I settled upon a very unscientific WAG......which proved to be wrong and has resulted in my keeping my 1320 for at least another 7 days :)
