Riddle, gather 'round.

[DragonsGrief]

Let's say 3 people are bungee jumping :

Person A weighs 100 pounds.
Person B weighs 200 pounds.
Person C weighs 300 pounds.

All three people jump off a bridge at the same time.

Who hits the ground first?

[0gg-the-Gnome]

None if they tied the bungie cords right.

[towelie101]

All of them.

None?

[AwesomeRific]

Lolololol! none, you don't hit the ground when you bungee jump.

[AgentFiftyOne]

Depends who gets out of there bungee cords first after the jump is over.

[arykT]

If they could possibly hit the ground, then they would probably hit at the same time... if they all jumped at the same time.

[ijustowndU]

"A" does. He had a faulty locking mechanism on his bungee harness and it broke while at 4.52 Gs of downward force.

[zerosub0]

^^^^^
like the people said none/etc. and so forth >_>

[Legionnaire-X]

C because fat people are dumb and somehow fucked up his or her bungee cord.

[Obor-Motsu]

C... then B... then A...

C's bungie snaps the bridge cause of the weight
B's heavier than A so he's closer to the ground when it breaks
A is so light that he had the time to be shot back upwards again... so he hits the ground harder than the other 2, but last nonetheless...

Person B. Because nobody guessed him yet.

[hatakekakashi7]

If this wasn't a riddle then the correct answer would be they all hi the ground at the same time. But since it is a tricky riddle, the correct answer is a person who bungie jumps doesn't hit the ground.

[TheLobsterman]

well aristotle has taught us that if any objects are thrown off a heightened point, neglecting wind resistance, and any other resistance, all of the objects will hit the ground at the same time.

[Timmy]

All of them.

*snip* *snip* *snip*

[Electric-Bla]

None, they're on the moon and when they jump off, they just keep going until they reenter the Earth's atmosphere and burn.

[Purpin]

The one with his bungee chord tied to the ground.

[Deadly-Shadow]

None of them, you don't hit the ground when you bungie jump, you bounce back up before you're anywhere near the ground.

The person(s) without the other end of the bungie rope tied to something.

[RacistBassist]

Options:
1. None, thy are bungee jumping
2. The one with the faulty cord
3. All at once if they all have a faulty cord due to things falling at the same speed unless air resistance is a factor or something.

Fuck I should of payed more attention in basic physical science

But the fat one might break it and how do you know they're not standing on a 20ft bridge with a 40ft cord?

[edgewalker424]

I have one and it's actually a riddle. Yours was good DG, but it doesn't really make a whole lot of sense.

You are riding on a beautiful white horse. On your left side is a drop off. On your right side are several ostriches being chased by a lion. In front of you are four large gazelles which won't get out of your way and you can't seem to overtake them. Behind you is a stampede of horses. What must you do to get out of this highly dangerous situation?

You wait for the stampede of horses and on your horse you join them until you are you of danger.
