Rodamer, 274 days ago 0
Very good answer! I would calculate closer to 8, but your answer is intriguing...I imagine we could chew on this some day over a beer! I know you have factored in many variables by making your statement about the clock's location!
Rodamer, 274 days ago 0
I suspect you have taken into account some acceleration boost imparted by the earth's rotation in an easterly direction and associated prevailing winds, which theoretically (although the lower atmosphere rotates essentially with the earth at 1,000 linear miles per hour at the equator) would give some percentage advantage in travelling eastward , rather than westward! I suspect you would estimate 9 hours to travel the same distance and at the same average speed in a westerly direction?
Poseidon, 274 days ago 0
Rod, I took a nautical mile. The concept 'mile' is too various. I think metric system would be more exact and convenient.
In this case:
The airplane speed is 3,113 m.p.h. = 3,113 x 1.852 = 5765,276 km/h
The length of equator is 40,000 km. (R = 6,371 km; 6,371 x 2 x 3.14 = 40,009 km)
40,000 / 5765,276 = 6,938 hours
Rodamer, 274 days ago 0
We are going to have a very amicable mathematical discussion, Poseidon, my friend!
I want to restate your equation:
The airplane speed is 3,113 mph= 3,113 x 1.60934= 5,009.9 kph
The length of the equator is 24,902 mi x 1.60934= 40,075 km
40,075 / 5,009.9 = 7.999 hours

New: Lieutenant Kije is a fictitious officer in a Russian____________.
Poseidon, 122 days ago 0
Lieutenant Kije is a fictitious officer in a Russian Army.
Properly speaking, it is the literary character in the novel by Soviet writer Yuri Tynyanov. Its plot looks like an anecdote.
One of the emperor's servants has a lover within the court and upon having his bottom pinched shouts out loud in a way that is misinterpreted as a cry for a "guard" by the emperor. The emperor is furious and summons the court to ask who has dared to cry out "guard" within his castle. No-one can give him an answer and so the emperor remains distressed about the incident. Meanwhile the servant in question escapes the emperor's chambers to be caught by his uncle and summoned to collect the guard duties for the day. The name Kijé (and subsequent character) is based on a Russian grammatical discrepancy made by another servant who is copying out the guard duties, reading "Подпоручики же…" ("podporuchiki zhe", "the lieutenants, however…") as "Подпоручик Киже…" ("Podporuchik Kijé", "lieutenant Kijé") instead, thus creating a new name "Kijé". Upon an immediate order of receipt of the guard duties by the emperor the spelling mistake is not corrected and the servant (whose bottom was pinched) has to report the documented duties to the emperor. The servant's uncle takes the opportunity of the spelling mistake to invent a character to blame: "Kijé". The Emperor assigns Kijé to guard duty. When an advisor identifies the one who shouted "Help!" under the Emperor's window one night as Kijé, the lieutenant is flogged and marched off to Siberia. A maid-in-waiting is distressed to hear that her lover has been exiled, so the Emperor reinstates Lt. Kijé and has him marry her. They have a child, and Kijé steadily rises through the ranks. The Emperor finally summons General Kijé to receive appropriate decorations; but, before this can happen, the general is "killed in battle" and is buried with full military honors, receiving his medals posthumously.

Rod, thank you for the correction. I just couldn’t contain myself of that sentence, cause every time I hear: «London is the capital of Great Britain», it makes me smile since every Russian pupil knows it by heart and no matter about his/her English level. I smile not because of incorrect definition but ..if you drag smb. out of the hay in Russia in the dead of night and ask: «What is the capital of Great Britain?», (I give 99%) you’ll get: «London is the capital of Great Britain» verbatim…)) of course you could also hear: «What are you doing in my bedroom with your questions?» and such like stuff (1%). )))))
Of course I understand the difference: the full name of the country is - United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, for it consists of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Great Britain is the name of the island, consists of three autonomous regions: England, Wales and Scotland. Therefore: the U.K. includes England (part of Great Britain), Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. I remember this information from school geography lessons.
