Contest: Cigars ablaze!

[Lopaka]

Congrats on passing the exam!

My alarm system aka DOG would have gone off before she got in the house. My dog has a very distinctive "WERE GOING TO WAR!!!!" bark that gets my adrenaline running. At this point I would be running through the house with fists pumping and body in the we are going to war mode ready to kill!!!

After seeing the ex heading to the humi...well lets say...

You wont be seeing her again.

Buzz,

I had to read that 3 times just to understand it! lol

Congrats on passing the exam! I will let the other mathletes handle this one. I will sit back and enjoy the show

Thanks guys, I am pretty dang excited that I passed that test - I'll be smoking a celebration cigar this weekend with my wife!

Keith, Jamie, and Lopaka - you guys all can't guess 0 seconds...

Nelson, no math-nerdness necessary, just throw some numbers around and see if you get lucky.
Example: # cigars / RTI * indoor temperature = 150 / 100 * 75 = 113 (this of course is not the correct answer)

We are talking about some high quality smokes here... Blunts AND Swishers!

Well...That is what had me confused, I was figuring the burn rate for some real cigars

Actually, I was trying to read this and figure out how to answer this and my eyes went cross, and I am sure I heard a blood vessel in my brain pop.

okay, I am just throwing stuff out there, so please, don't tell me how I did this wrong, it might make my head explode trying to comprehend the workings.

My answer is 133 seconds, and this is how I got to it;

btu/ #cigars * ceiling height + temp rise = 250 / 150 * 10 + 70 = 133

And I bet the echo was a real bitch.















j/k couldn't resist

Congrats on passing your exam! If you had a lot of questions like the one you asked on the exam, I can see why you are so excited.

As for the problem, I worked it out and came up with 2 answers, neither of which are probably close. I worked it out one way and got 31.7 seconds, and another way I got 1.7 seconds. I am going to go with the first answer of 31.7 seconds.

Then what the hell is that example good for!!!!

I think that is Kevin's personal smiley

I am guessing it would take about double that amount of cigars to make up one cubic foot. so Approx 125 BTUs at a temp increase of 1 degree per second (another guess). So based on the detection temp and the current temp= 60 seconds?

Congrats on passing your test, btw.
