accousticguitar Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Oh, come on. You mean nobody wants to bid four times pi times the permittivity of free space times the reduced planck constant times the speed of light in a vacuum divided by the charge of a single electron squared? Was that a bid or just a question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDW Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 and the horses have crossed the finish line, and the winner is: AX at $136! You didn't post the results in question format. I'm disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you get tired of the lamp, you can send it over to me and I'll babysit it for you Ax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Wonder007 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Gosh, I forgot to bid on this one as well..... Oh well...congrats Ax!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+batari Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 and the horses have crossed the finish line, and the winner is: AX at $136! You can't call it yet. You didn't provide the correct answer to my problem. Hint: units need to cancel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cebus Capucinis Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 OH SNAP...and here I am having drank 4 23 oz growlers for a work meeting tonight at the bar.... OKAY AUCTION MAY NOT BE OVER. batari may have won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OKAY AUCTION MAY NOT BE OVER. batari may have won. I didn't really bid, I just expected you to solve my problem properly before calling it Apparently, Google will give you the answer if you type this: 4*pi*electric constant*hbar*c/(elementary charge)^2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cebus Capucinis Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 So, in the interest of keeping everything fair and across the board, I am going to answer batari's "problem"/question before I call it done. Here is the question: Oh, come on. You mean nobody wants to bid four times pi times the permittivity of free space times the reduced planck constant times the speed of light in a vacuum divided by the charge of a single electron squared? The answer: No. Nobody did want to bid whatever number that comes out to, obviously. See, you made the "problem" the qualifier on that sentence, so therefore due to logic constraints I do not have to actually perform said equation. Hurrah for logic!

Havok69 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Spock does not approve. The equation is quite simple; the "bid" was $137.04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cebus Capucinis Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 The equation is quite simple; the "bid" was $137.04 It doesn't matter. Nobody wanted to bid that, so the answer of 'No, nobody does want to bid whatever that turns into' is still logically and technically the correct answer. Logic for laziness! YES! I will also be the first to admit that I am absolutely, horrendously, and god-awfully horrid at math. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
