If you spill paint on the carpet and use vinegar to clean it up, it won't work. It will just make your carpet stink, and your mum will tell you off.

Thats definitely wrong. More like 3 minutes per displayed minute on the Victoria line most mornings.

if bill gates put all his money under his matress in $5 bills, it would take him 18 minutes to hit the floor

BUT

he earns sufficient interest on his fortune that the pile would keep going up enough for him never to hit the floor

sorry Brett - I'm gonna fixture myself here as I've already answered this before:

1. The size of a dollar bill is 6.6294 cm wide, by 15.5956 cm long, and 0.010922 cm in thickness.

2. Bill Gates is worth $50 Billion

3. For a skydiver with parachute closed, the terminal velocity is about 200 km/h.

4. It takes around 15 seconds to reach 99% of terminal velocity


50,000,000,000 x 0.00010922m = 5,461 km

5461 / 200 = 27.305 hours = 1 day 3 hours 18 minutes give or take a minute or so.


But the stratosphere only goes up about 53km therefore his bed would be outside any meaningful gravitational pull of the earth.


Therefore it is false.


I thankyou.
