miles

[angelacurran]

how long will it take to do 214 miles

[fluffy246]

time = distance /time i think

[CheekyChops]

What a stupid question - it obviously depends how fast you will be driving. If you are doing 100 mph, then just over 2 hours.

You could be driving a tractor for all we know.

[Toureman]

Yes, but, if you do 214 mph see if you can gess how long that will take !

[:Ace:]

Lol!! CheekyChops "What a stupid question"

It is a stupid question though Angela, C'mon!

[redcrx]

what about if there are roadworks?

angela, an idea of sort of roads may help give a rough idea. work on 40-50mph and you may get rough calculation

[Panic Button]

It will seem like forever.

Snail about 7,500 hours
Tortoise about 1,000 hours
Human swimming about 400 hours
Human walking about 50 hours
By bicycle about 15 hours
By car on a motorway about 3.5 hours
By Eurostar train about 1.5 hours
By normal passenger jet about 25 minutes
By Tornado jet fighter about 9 minutes
By North American X15 Rocket Plane less than 3 minutes
Aboard an orbiting spacecraft about 45 seconds
At the speed of light, less than one thousandth of a second.

I think that should cover it (but there will be some who say otherwise!)

[redcrx]

what about unicycle Judge? is that half the time or double the time of a bicycle?

[New Judge]

Sorry!

Just a bit more than a thousandth of a second (0.00115 sec in fact) at the speed of light !!!!!!

I must get out more.

[New Judge]

I reckon so, redcrx.

Unless it is one of those very tall ones you see in the circus. The riders of these only seem to be able to oscillate backwards and forwards, so it could take one of them even longert than the sail!

[mjwman]

No such thing as a stupid quiestion (though this one appears to come close!).

Answer is to go to the AA travel planner site and put in your parameters like what speed you want to do etc, then your start postcode and then the end details.

You will get the route, and travel time.,

[gsr600]

new judge - you forgot motorbike, but you may have to stop for fuel a few times so add 10minutes

[Panic Button]

How long do snails live for? It might not last the trip.

[Disco Fever]

If you do 21.4 miles per hour then 10 hours....

[ChuckFickens]

LOL @ new judge!!

And yes reckon you do need to get out more :)

you forgot speed of sound though!
about 28min at sea level

[ChuckFickens]

oppps,

just under 17min even :)
