We have one of those automatic clocks but since they changed things around it reset last week. Got to see if I can outsmart it otherwise it's a target :)

 
So if Johnny was riding his FJR from 1am to 2am tonight and traveled for 100 miles, what was his average speed?

We have one that does the same thing. We were ****** up like a football bat for about 30 minutes last Sunday. Fortunately, ours is able to be reset manually. Now I have to change it tonight along with the other 50,000 clocks that are in everything from our stove, to our computer to my FJR.

Here's an idea...I wonder if I changed the clock to Arizona's time zone, and then adjusted it to the correct time, if it would stop changing early. Then I wouldn't have to worry about it changing on the wrong date twice a year...Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Assuming Johnny's initial position P1 is his home, initial time t1 is 1 AM (0100 military time), final position P2 is 100 miles away and final time t2 is 1 AM (0100 military time). The following would be the case:

Delta P = P2-P1 = 100 miles - 0 miles = 100 miles

Delta t = t2-t1 = 0100 hours - 0100 hours = 0 hours

Johnny's speed V is:

V = Delta P/Delta t = 100 miles/0 hours

This expression (rational number divided by 0) would be infinity miles per hour. Therefore, if Johnny is riding an FJR, it must be a gen I.
