28 down - Yes E-RICH will get you to MACH but I believe that C is only used for the speed of light. C, the speed of light, tends to be Capital C. WRT the speed of sound there is an excellent reason to NOT use C because the speed of sound is dependent on temperature which is usually in centigrade and therefor C is going to be a temperature measurement in any calculation involving the speed of sound. And Googling "c" and "speed of sound" does not show mach number = v/c. Mach number is velocity/ speed of sound not v/C .
Picture of polar bear cubs. Reminds of the time I saw a seal climb a palm tree to escape a polar bear in the woods. There were 2 cubs running behind their mom in the woods disappointed.
Add to tricky questions A46, as the surface of Loch Ness is 52 feet above sea level. I was flabbergasted to spell out Loch Ness Monster as a "Cryptid in the Scottish Highlands". And I was thinking Hound of the Baskervilles. Not really a cryptid. Maybe the Floridian Highlands but clearly not the Scots kind. Overall fun of course. If there is a Nessie it spends most of its time below sea level. The abyss of Loch Ness is 670 feet below sea level or about half way done to the Dead Sea.
@AlanRevel in your youth!
@Quarantini I agree that Jury Rigging does not cover MacGyvering but to cover MacGyvering it is not a dictionary that is needed. You need to watch the show. Which is what you are referring to. I came to this article in the same fashion. It's not MacGyveing but it's not so bad as to be ruinous. I come to jury rigging in the past through sailing (sailing requires weekly or however often you sail jury rigging) and I would describe jury rigging as reassembling something that used to look and work fine but Aeolus has violently disassembled. The Flight of the Phoenix would represent extreme jury rigging. But a MacGyvering essential is that you start with next to nothing. You cannot start with anything that looks like it will or has or can work. And that is quite different from jury rigging
@G nichols there are instancesof little c speed of sound
@Steven Yeah, I think that's the omega-3's we smell
