rehmwa 2 #37 November 12, 2007 QuoteI have always wondered where the point thing came from? Any one care to enlighten me please? You take the approximate weight of the deer (pounds) and divide by the distance of the shot (feet) then multiply by the time it takes to die (minutes) and then cross tabulate that to the ADKA (American Deer Killers Amalgamation) tables on the internet to determine a "normallized" point score for the kill. Then simply multipy that factor by the weight of the deer's skull (fully cleaned and boiled) to determine your Point Score for the kill.

Gawain 0 #39 November 12, 2007 Nice work. You can tell the season is open around Fort Campbell, because nearly every group of deer is inside the wire right now. As soon as you exit the rear gates, you see all the hunters parked along the access roads along out "back 40". The deer are well versed in that "magic barrier" around here... Even so, their population growth is evident. I've been seeing a lot more carcasses on the side of the highways lately. So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

The answer is 6 but that's not rocket science, it's ballistics. Here's one for you: A satellite is placed in a circular orbit of 1.8e5m radius, around a spherical body of 1.2e5m radius with density of 2.8e3kg/m^3 and must be transfered to an orbit of 2.4e5m radius. What are the changes in velocity needed to attain the higher orbit? That should be a walk in the park for a rocket scientist like you. Oh and thanks for misquoting me, how very honest of you.
