Should be in 'Science' maybe, but

[stewey]

Yo! how low can a yo-yo go? Is the height of the floor important, or does it depend upon the length of the attached string?

[stewey]

Well now, stewey, I tell you what. This'll teach ya, maybe, fer askin' stupid questions when ya come stumblin' home from the pub, an' these here folks has got a five hour start on ya!

[hippyhoppy]

stewey - surely it depends on the length of the string.. lol - bet you never thought you'd get an asnwer!!

[stewey]

Thanks, hippyhoppy. Now I can rest in peace.....oops, it wasn't that grave a question........G'night.

I think it's half the distance from the knot of the loop that you put your finger through to the knot on the axle of the yo-yo, doubled plus the diameter of your middle finger plus the diameter of the axle of the yo-yo. It's complicated - particularly when you take into consideration floor height.

floor height??

[beejay1124]

climatic conditions ?

[MWB]

You have to have a long floor but a short ceiling.

Everyone knows that!

[carrot99]

climate, beejay, obviously another huge variable . With the material of the yo-yo expanding at a different rate to the string I think stewey was right to think his question should go in Science.

exactly MWB - what about the draft if the window's open and global positioning?

too many extraneous variables - I thin we'd need special software to calculate how low a yo-yo can go.

[MWB]

So. We need to know how low a yo-yo can go, no?

Though a yo-yo is slow & costs a lot of dough, it can glow shot out from a bow. Just ask, Joe, who's on the po!

Doh!

woah!!!!
