I just got a riddle in class and was wondering if anyone knew what the answer was.

"I have traveled 28,108,800,000 miles. How old am I?"

Any ideas?

Simple. Divide by how many miles are in a year.

...

Light itself would only be 42 hours old.

Due to extensive research done by the University of Pittsburgh, diamond has been confirmed as the hardest metal known to man. The research is as follows:
Pocket-protected scientists built a wall made of iron and crashed a diamond car into it at 400 miles per hour, and the car was unharmed. They then built a wall out of diamond and crashed a car made of iron moving at 400 miles an hour into the wall, and the wall came out fine. They then crashed a diamond car made of 400 miles per hour into a wall, and there were no survivors. They crashed 400 miles per hour into a diamond travelling at iron car. Western New York was powerless for hours. They rammed a wall made of metal into 400 miles an hour made of diamond, and the resulting explosion shifted earths orbit 400 million miles away from the sun, saving the earth from a meteor the size of a small Washington suburb that was hurtling towards mid-western Prussia at 400 billion miles an hour. They shot a diamond made of iron at a car moving at 400 walls per hour, and as a result caused over 10000 wayward planes to lose track of their bearings, and make a fatal crash with over 10000 buildings in downtown New York. They spun 400 miles at diamond into iron per wall. The results were inconclusive. Finally, they placed 400 diamonds per hour in front of a car made of wall travelling at miles per iron, and the result proved with out a doubt that diamonds were the hardest metal of all time, if not just the hardest metal known to man.

What class? That will help determine what sort of answer they're looking for.

I think I did some math wrong.

Nah I did it right. 41.914857 hours old minimum.

if the earth moves through the solar system and the solar system moves through the galaxy at total of about 4.9 billion mph per year
and you've gone roughly 28 billion miles so far I'd say you're about 5 1/2 years old

28108800000 miles
1609.344 m/no
We'll call it Y because I'm on a tablet and too lazy to copy that many numbers.
Y/Speed of light "c" = X
X/60 = Z
Z/60 = 41.914857 hours old

>m/mi
Autocorrect was the worst invention mankind has ever produced

I think the question is for a straight line. As the crow flies.

Your riddle is weird, it doesn't really mean shit.

Even if the answer was to convert into high-speed to find the time, it still doesn't mean shit.
Since only photons can travel at the speed of light. It is believed (its speculation of course) that photons don't experience time.
If you traveled at the speed of light, you don't experience time, granted you should also have "no mass" to travel that fast.

The riddle isn't really clear, about what/who the subject is. Or how fast we are going.

Wut

>two dimensions
>in my fourth dimension Sup Forums

That depends. Are you running or walking? On a beam of light? Or floating on a boat? Nowhere does it say you are moving at maximum speed.

I meant "light speed"
To hell with autocorrect

This is so fucking retarded.
Well done.

Here, have an FBI handler telling the NV sherriff to "Don't go there" when a question is asked.

>being this diamond per hour
Shiggy

You didn't account for gravity is what I mean.

Just find how far Earth travels around the sun in 1 year and divide by that number. I doubt they're referring to a photon because time is relative at that level.

You're about 48 years old.

>implying there are stellar masses in my universe where light magically appears at certain vectors
[There are no spoilers on b]I don't know how to do that.

Obviously the answer is a bound of some sort.

>28,108,800,000
Is the answer....what distance of cock has the combined people in this thread deep throated in one month.

Miles

Have* and that's not even close.

If you were traveling at the speed of light, you would be the same age that you started the travel, because of the laws of relativity.

i miss this pasta.
twas back when pastas were made fresh constantly
when cancer was culled and spammed with le funnay maymays
when spambots n shills didn't exist for fear of being exposed by anonymous or at the very least buttblasted by mods/funny maymays
now all we are are spambots, shills, and literal shitposters posting literal shit maymays.
even Sup Forums has lost to the money pit. nothing is good in this fucking life

I believe this user is correct. By my calculations OP is 47.8920466162 years old

According to yourself, maybe (you would also be compressed into near nothingness), but any observer would notice the difference between the endpoint and the starting point, no?

Post math

If the earth moves 67,000 miles per hour

and there are 8760 hours in a year


28108800000 % 8760 = 3208767.12329

3208767.12329 % 67000 = 47.8920466162

That's not really a riddle. More of a math problem.

the hardest part is figuring out the riddle, the math is grade-school division

Ty
This assumes the subject never moves from the core of the Earth, right?

Depends on the speed it was moving at and possible rests inbetween.

I guess. That's just one of a shitload of other variables that aren't taken into account. That's just the math of Earth's orbit speed. As you've suggested does spinning on it's axis count as traveled mileage also?

And as noted by this user
Earth is not just orbiting the sun, the sun and our solar system are moving throughout the galaxy.
So you could take his pseudo math and add 5.5 years to the 47.8

..and the galaxy is moving through the larger universe... should we factor that in too?
what about the actual traveling that he's done while on earth?
some truck drivers have traveled millions of miles...
etc etc

US miles or UK miles?

I could assume a whole bunch of things and then iterate a program until the total travel distance equals the target distance, but it seems like a lot of work for an unsatisfying answer.
