The teacher was amazed. "Goodness. How can you remember all that information after all these years". Penny has a method. How does she remember?
She was born at 12:34:56 on 7/8/90

Two bucks, vying for the attention of a young doe standing nearby, lowered their antlers and came hurtling toward each other from a distance apart of 100 meters, each at a speed of 12.5 meters per sec.

A super-fast, but crazy, deer-fly flew in a straight line from the head of one buck to the head of the other, turned and flew back to the first buck. It continued to fly back and forth between the two bucks as the distance between them became dangerously shorter. The fly's speed was 80 meters per sec. How many meters had the fly traveled when the two bucks eventually made contact?
12.5 m/s *2 (both bucks moving) = 25 m/s
x=vot
100/4=t
t=4s

80m/s*4s= 320m

seriously, i didn't cheat, i wouldn't know where to look for it. i just started talking to myself and i noticed how what i was saying verbally was translated to the next line. its a pretty good one, though, i'm just good with numbers/patterns.
