Title: What-if-XKCD
Post by: vh on July 13, 2012, 03:11:58 AM
What-if-XKCD is a site where randall munroe, the person who does the xkcd comics, answers strange science questions

last weeks: What would happen if you tried to hit a baseball pitched at 90% the speed of light? (http://what-if.xkcd.com/1/)

this weeks (although i thought last weeks was better): What if everyone who took the SAT guessed on every multiple-choice question? How many perfect scores would there be? (http://what-if.xkcd.com/2/)
