    Question Science Question

    My faith in the UK education system has been damaged due to the gullible youths on Space Cadets (assuming its not a con by Channel 4)

    Question:

    Lunch is served at 12:30 on an aircraft (flying at 25000ft), by 13:00 all the passengers (175 of them) have consumed a cheese & Ham sandwich, a small glass of wine, a packet of crisps and a cup of coffee.

    What happens to the resultant weight of the aircraft during the next half hour:

    a) It gets heavier, but too small to measure.
    b) It gets a lot heavier (measurable).
    c) The weight remains constant
    d) It gets lighter, but too small to measure.
    e) It gets a lot lighter (measurable).
    f) I have no Idea, I'm american and don't know what crisps are.

    Answer tomorrow.

    This is just sad.
    Have you looked in the FAQ yet?
    How about the Wiki?

    Well, it really depends, are there any bulemics on the plane? Does the plane expel it's waste into the atmosphere? If you wanna get techincal, it's going to be a little lighter because of the fuel it's consuming first off....

    Now, is it an old plane with **** fallin off it? I need more info man, I can't make an educated decision until then.

    Could be a really small plane, with midgets stacked 2 high.
