"There was a calculus problem that I remember that goes like this: You're driving to a destination, and your speed is such that you are always one hour away. That is, at 100 miles away you are driving 100 mph, at 60 miles, 60mph, 30 miles @ 30mph. How long does it take to get there?"

we're way off topic, but this is great! Crackin' up about Mr. Tompkins and the Lucas crack (pun intended) as well. I assume that in the above problem, you never really get there, b/c as long as you're moving, you are, by the rules, one hour away. See what i mean by my luckin' out with a "B" in Physics 103? s
