a magnificent physics puzzle, solvable with high level math and some acquired skill.
Wait, I have to [b][i]remember[/i][/b] my high level math. Darn, I can barely do Calculus and Laplace Transforms for an exam, let alone on a job. I just assumed computers did everything now :D !

Somehow, I can only imagine someplace like NOAA, like Revenge of the Nerds, with all sorts of crazy pranks to get back at the jocks, ie the military.
