Is it true that a peanut butter sandwich that is pushed from a table ends on the floor buttered side down?
Yes, because of the height of the table. This height determines how much of a revolving movement around its axis the sandwich can make, and that determines whether the buttered or non-buttered side will end up on the floor. The average height of a table is 40 inches, or 17 Euro-inch. This means the sandwich just hasn’t enough time during the fall to make a complete revolution. But there is enough time for half a revolution, so the sandwich is doomed to end with its buttered butt down. My computations show that a table has to be nine feet to enable the sandwich to make a complete revolution. But who wants to? Revolutions have never worked, and never will. What the world needs is an enlightened dictator with a feel for uplifting movies. Keep checking my sites for updates about the new and upcoming totalitarian regime. I’m doing it all for you, folks!
