I just couldn't help remembering my physics classes. IIRC physics was, at
that time, considered a science. Might still be. The class as a whole was
having a difficult time with mass/velocity/momentum equations, so one of
those horrible people with a piece of paper on their wall decided to let us
'play.' I finally mastered mass/velocity/momentum equations by figuring out
how fast a gnat would have to be going to stop a Mack truck doing the speed
limit on the interstate.
There were folk who 'played' even more creatively than I, but strangely
enough, we all smoked the exam.
