And yeah, Keegan, you could... but that's not fair. I've heard yours before.
Here's a good riddle:
A hungry velociraptor spots you from 40m away. It immediately moves in to attack, accelerating at a constant rate of 4m/s^2 to its top speed of 25m/s. You flee the moment you are spotted, instantly accelerating to your top speed of 6m/s.
a. How long will the raptor take to reach its top speed?
b. How much distance will you cover before you are caught, torn apart, and messily devoured?
c. How many seconds will it take for you to get caught, torn apart, and messily devoured?
d. Assume the moment you are spotted, you whip out a cell phone and dial 911 to call in air support. Doing so takes you five seconds, during which time your top speed is reduced to 5 m/s. The F-22 Raptor (now THERE'S some irony) will take two seconds to arrive. Will you have time to complete the call? And will the jet get there in time to save you?
e. Explain how you got yourself into this situation. Best answer receives extra credit (a cookie)

Give each kid a cookie and then put one of the kids in the jar, or feed 9 kids with cookies, and give the other one a banana or something.Skyman said:

it is past midnight but I'll give it a shot
A-19 sec
B-139 m
C-23.2 sec
D-again, it's late, I'm guessing that since his phone call is almost like waiting one second before running and he makes it 4 or so seconds even After the velociraptor's top speed that he barely gets the call off with maybe a second to spare. but that is assuming my other calc's were right
E-I graduate, I get hired to work for the government which has been doing secret v-raptor cloning (jurassic park!!!!). A raptor goes missing from the test facilities and a universal e-mail is sent out to all the employees who work in the surrounding buildings to LOCK their doors because all doors are conveniently fitted with handles (no knobs). I of course miss the e-mail because I have several e-mail addresses and since I am new to the job I still haven't gotten used to checking my work e-mail.
I like to walk to my building past the wildlife facilities because, being from Idaho, I like having more trees around and knowing animals are nearby (though I've never actually seen one in there; just like trying to see the little animals at the zoo). Down the street, a velociraptor steps around the corner.
After the raptor is put down my horrific death is utilized by the government to pass a new bill allowing them to monitor all cell phones with GPS so that whenever there is a local threat or impending disaster all phones within an appropriate distance are sent a warning txt message.
sorta the same answer though.
