Question of the day

[zagatoes30]

Must be either a 200m runner, or possibly a 4*100m relay runner... Have no clue who, so will guess Michael Johnson in one of his 200m events

Thinking outside the box is good but it's not Michael Johnson

Oh wasn't it one of the relay guys in the paralympics?

Didn't Justin Gatlin (not to be confused with Warren) break Bolts time, but had had a massive tail wind, like 30 mph or something.

Thats the one I couldn't remember the name. He used fans or something.

Another QI Klaxon but you are half right

Justin Gatlin did run a 100m faster than the record but he was assisted with a constant 2 m/s wind generated by a fan. 2 m/s being the maximum assistance that a world record can be broken with, he was .13 seconds faster than Bolts time but this still is not the answer to the question

So much for a nice easy one! As a new Maserati owner I'm surprised to see such skullduggery on the forum....

I think it must be a 100m relay runner, as they effectively get a flying start to their 100m rather than starting from a stationery position. However, I have no clue which one. An American? A Jamaican? or maybe even a Brit? I'm going to guess Adam Gemili, and will say 9.4 seconds

Skullduggery, it's what this forum is all about but you are in the right area not a Brit and quite a bit faster

There are many times when the 200m world record is less than twice the 100m world record balancing off the lack of a standing start against tiring over the extra distance.

Correct, the fastest timed 100m is Usain Bolt, 8.65 in a 4 x 100m race

Your go

What is the actual difference between a hand and a foot ?

Its a two word answer i am looking for.

 

[JonW]

A foot is 12" and a hand 4" (horse measurement)

Correct Andy. That is the answer i was looking for.

Your question.

 

[daverichardson]

Is this why men get confused between 8 inches and something larger?

 

[zagatoes30]

Bugger I was hoping it wasn't the right answer.

If anyone else wants to set a question please feel free

What is an Aglet?

 

[MrPea]

I thought I might know the answer so looked it up. I would have been very wrong, but it's a nice piece of random knowledge.

They get confused between 8 inches and hung like a horse hand !

Thats a term i've not heard for many years. I will leave this one to others.
