Grimbeard Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Given that the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides of a right angled triangle, I think that we can safely say that all of the above shows that goal-line technology is a bad idea. Look at all the fun we're having discussing a relatively meaningless 'goal'. You don't get this sort of thing in the Premier League anymore.

Leicester Ram Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Having consulted Hawkeye I can confirm it is a goal.

Philmycock Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 But we're right, no goal was given. Frank Lampard begs to differ x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Similarly, if you wanted to build a fence all the way around the earth at the equator, and the fence was 1 metre high, it's easy to calculate how much longer the rail at the top would be compared to the distance at the ground. The answer, to many, is surprising. Am I the only one that's still eagerly awaiting the answer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal is a Ram Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I wonder if this one was over the line... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimmu Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I wonder if this one was over the line... Hopefully we'll see some hawkeye pictures of it too. Duracell, we are waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Am I the only one that's still eagerly awaiting the answer? Sorry. Let the radius of the Earth be r metres. Circumference of the Earth is = 2πr metres There are two circles here, one of which is the circumference of the Earth, one of which is the circumference of the Earth + 1 metre (the top of the fence). The circumference of the top of the fence is therefore 2π(r+1) metres The difference between the lengths is therefore 2π((r+1)-r) = 2π metres So around 6.285 metres. The most amazing thing is the difference would be the same if you built a fence on Jupiter, compared to the circumference of Jupiter. Or if you built a fence around a hydrogen atom.

That took a while to get my head around, but I guess you're only really adding a small wedge of fence into what would normally be a straight fence. Interesting. DCFCFans... Not just about Derby County, sometimes it's about important mathematical ******. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTedd Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I wonder if this one was over the line... Cor, look at the speed of that attack though. The keeper's essentially polishing his nails one second, and sewing up the whole in his net the next. We're ******* brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 did you know the circumference of a standard pint glass at the rim is more than its height Define 'standard pint glass' It is for a pint pot, it is (usually) for a nonic, it is for a conical, it isn't necessarily for a stein, a pilsner or wheat beer glass, it never is for a pint yard. All can be 'standard' pint glasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually win a few free drinks with that one at UNi because people didn't believe me , thank you Mr Gordon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
