okay I've gotta do this lame ass physics thing where i do lame ass calculations to show what a billion is.

My experiment is to see what would be faster, danica patrick driving the length of one billion indy 500 car tires or a slug doing some kind of distanced trek.

but i need to know how often an indy 500 car needs a pit stop, so does anyone know, preferably you rednecks?

thanks.

fuck it's not gonna be exact anyway, I'm making it on a straight road with a constant speed...this is actually harder than i thought. :(

not really because you can take an average distance for each tire multiply it by 250,000,000 (4 tires on a car (1,000,000,000/4=250,000,000))and than divide your distance by your speed

uh yea that's extremely easy...I was talking about slowing down and speeding up and constants that need to be taken into account.

anywho it was found that it would take danica 75.32 days for her trek, while it would take a large banana slug 503.22 days to travel 1 billion micro meters.

sweet fact eh

I doubt that's possible brohan. Try finding out the average speed of the car during a race.
