Hey Adam,

That first one about the airplane on the conveyor belt is funny. That dude obviously never took a science class or visited a science museum. Every damn science museum I've ever been in has a hands-on bernuli experiment. I kinda can't respect a dude who spent 3 hours comming up with the wrong answere.
