AnswersThree different springs bounce at different frequencies. Spring A bounces off the ground every 2 seconds; Spring B bounces every 5 seconds; and Spring C bounces every 9 seconds. The three springs leave the ground at the same time and continue bouncing until eventually the three springs, one by one, bounce during a three consecutive second interval. Upon the second and third such intervals, respectively, which spring makes the third bounce?
- Annonymous.... November 01, 2009
Note: Springs must bounce in 3 consecutive seconds (A,B,C/B,A,C/C,B.A/etc/etc), but more than 1 spring can bounce at the same time for it still to count. (A,B,C&A is acceptable. A&C, 0, B is not).

AnswersA satellite moving at constant speed can orbit the moon one time in eight hours. After each complete cycle, the satellite instantly reverses direction a quarter of the way back around the moon before immediately continuing forward again for another complete cycle. Beginning in the forward direction above a particular spot of the moon, how many hours does it take the satellite to orbit that spot three times?
- Annonymous.... November 01, 2009
Note: Rotating to the spot and immediately reversing direction does not count. If you are continuing beyond the point, the time immediately over the point is considered the time when you orbit over the spot.
