I didn't get served at all.

The average time per dude is entirely dependent on how many dudes get serviced at one time. It's not that hard to figure out.

Think of it like a line of people at the DMV. If you have one teller, and a line of 25 dudes, and it takes that 1 teller 43 minutes to help them all, then yes, the average is 43/25. However, if you have 3 tellers (for example), and it takes all three tellers 43 minutes to service all 25 dudes, then each dude was with each teller for 43/(25/3) minutes, which is three times as long as the first example.

This is like junior high level algebra.

oh ffs. you are starting with the intuition and shoehorning the math. this is fine for a problem this simple, but if you were trying to do even intermediate physics you would end up with all sorts of unit problems.

agreed that average time-per-dude isn't hard to figure out. just take total time and divide it by the number of dudes -- which is what i already did. it is *NOT* dependent on simultaneity, because that's not what average rates capture. for that, you need to add a term for dudes-per-girl, as i already stated.

to see your error in intuition, try this problem:

if you want, place the blame on how badly the term 'average' is misused throughout applied math education.

Your problem has nothing to do with the original point of my post.

Knowns: 1 girl, 25 guys, total time for all guys = 43 minutes
Unknowns: Time per dude - this is a dependent variable, which is entirely dependent on how many guys the girl was servicing at one time.
---------------

Also, the original joke was Redster's sister is a whore. I wouldn't doubt she'd fuck one dude, suck one off, and take one in the ass all at the same time, thus lengthening the time each little H.S. boy could play with his dick before covering her in cum.

yes, it does.

i defy you to answer it.

also, the original context for my comment was the article. i have no idea who redster or his sister are.

and lolol at your use of 'dependent variable'

wow

To answer your question, it's 60 mph, because you never stated how Bob actually got to the repair shop. So his only trip is home.
