A better question would have been:
Jerak lives in a run down Section 8 apartment building . He walks into the elevator that has been in need of repair for months.
As the door opens and Jerak steps in….their is no elevator there.
The fall is 15 stories to the bottom .
How long will it take Jerak to splat on the bottom of the elevator shaft and what speed will he obtain as he plummets down the elevator shaft ?

That’s probably not the answer being looked for but it would certainly be the right one in real life.

I wish I had the balls to actually write the answers to stupid tests down like that. It would have been worth the suspension from school and the ass whipping when I got home.

Just wait for the next Census to arrive and then have at it! It’s great fun!

After the last census they sent me something called a “Community Survey” or some such shit. You can look it up online. I had a field day answering that one and it even required extra sheets of paper!

Must be a question from a British math book. Brits say “lift”, Americans say “elevator”. I remember questions like this in math classes and can’t ever recall needing to know such calculations. Of course, I’m not a rocket scientist…

@IS, I got one of those surveys also and refused to fill it out. The Census guy came to my house several times trying to coerce me to submit and I basically told him to pound sand. He was really persistent but finally gave up, but not before some mild threats about “consequences”. Those survey questions such as how many bathrooms in the house, how much money I make, how long it took me to get to work, etc., were far too invasive in my opinion.

I was in a meeting once with a gov employee and we were discussing technical objectives for a project and he used the term “MSU”. I said what’s MSU? He replied, “Make Shit Up”.

@Rise Up, that survey was absolutely ridiculous. I should have saved the response I sent them to post it here. I ignored many questions but all answers I did provide (non-answers really) were provided on separate sheets of paper and basically expressed my outrage at the asinine nature of the questions. At the end I told them it was a fucking insult to my intelligence and my wallet to provide information that would be used to redistribute my wealth and that if they truly needed the info it was all available in existing govt databases but that I doubted they could collectively muster the brainpower to retrieve it. The final two words were FUCK OFF on a single sheet of paper.
They never bothered to send out a flunky to gather responses in person like they did with the census.
When the next census arrives I’m going to self identify as all 72 different races, creeds and religious affiliations they offer just for starters. If it’s good enough for Elizabeth Warren and Rachel Dolezal, it’s good enough for me! Hell, I might just demand that they put me down as a White, Pacific Islander Jewish Nigger on my next drivers license!

I got that stupid community survey
and filled some of it in w/ the MSU (thanks).
I don’t think anyone read them anyway,
It was just a make work project.
People fill that survey out because they are afraid
they will be tortured and punished for non-compliance.
That, is what we’ve come to.

The reality is, the person inside the lift was too absorbed in his smartphone to notice Jerak hastily approaching, hence no effort was made to hold the door.
We’ve had more than a few pedestrian vs. car incidents in Oz, where the pedestrians in question have not bothered to even slightly check that it was safe for them to cross. Under our rather strange “law”, the driver is ALWAYS guilty, so we can expect more of these incidents in the future, can’t we.

The correct answer is, “Because Jerak didn’t run fast enough to reach the lift doors and put a hand between them before they closed completely.”
At 2.5 meters per second, Jerak wasn’t running, he was jogging at a bit faster than 5 mph.
When he saw the doors begin to close, Jerak should have sprinted. Then he would have been able to “catch” the elevator.

Getting kind of tired of people not trying to answer questions so they can say something “witty” on a test, take a picture of it, and post it on FB/reddit/failblog/etc.. ‘Merica!
2.5 m/s * 5 sec is 12.5 meters. He will still be (15-12.5) = 2.5 meters away from the door when it closes.

Jerak wants to steal a 50″ HDTV from Walmart. It is 42.5 meters to the front door. How fast does Jerak have to run, to out run the 375 lb Neegrow security guard?
Extra credit question: How many illegitimate children has Jerak fathered?
What kind of ebonic name is jerak?
