The airplane on a treadmill thread.
By the way, the plane WOULD take off. The way the scenario was worded, the treadmill moves at the same speed as the plane (i.e. it does NOT move at such a speed to stop the plane's forward movement). Therefore the plane would be able to gain speed and lift off.
So wait, the treadmill is also moving? Is it on top of an even larger treadmill?

How does the plane go foward, if the treadmill keeps going backward at the same speed?

Because airplanes accelerate by pushing against the air, not by pushing against the ground.
Also, per the rules of the scenario, the treadmill belt is moving at the same speed as the plane, so if the plane isn't going forward, the treadmill belt is also stopped. How would a stationary treadmill belt stop a plane from starting to move?

How does the OP not even get Rexing's time right? It's 13:55.

I thought the one with an 800m race pitting the all-time greats against each other and a grizzly bear was awesome. Some great writing in that one.

Years ago, Moe's Tavern had a great troll. I was working for him when he wrote it and he even said watch a lot of people get pissed off here.
It was about should I put my high Mensa IQ on my resume? I think he used the trigger word blast with a high IQ or something. Anyway, he was right and it was classic. I think it came out that he wrote it so I don't think it's going to piss him off with me posting this.

As soon as the plane starts to move, the treadmill starts moving at an equal and opposite speed. As long as the plane is on the treadmill, how does this not cancel it out?
This is a logic problem where you have to conclude the plane can't start moving at all.00
