    1 knot = 2025.372yard/hour (1 nautical mile per hour) (also: 6076.1155feet/hour)

    100ft/23sec * 60sec/min * 60min/hour *1/6076.1155feet = 2.576 knots

    Quickie conversion from knots to miles per hour is: knots*1.151 = mph so 2.576 knots*1.151 = 2.964mph

    Wow, a math major? I'd always thought that was pure magic & wished I got along better with Calculus :) Very cool.

    Don't get me wrong, I studied nuclear engineering in the Navy... I just wish I could understand the deep deep math stuff :)

    You look at the deep deep math stuff enough & your realize its all just a bunch of crap. I believe there is a fundamental flaw with mathematics because it can "mathematically" contradict itself. Math is an "approximation" of nature, nothing more. It is as close as we can come to putting nature on a piece of paper & playing with it. Once you realize math is by nature incomplete and should be taken with a grain of disbelief; it stops being scary & daunting.

    For the record, my engineering degrees are what feeds me... not my math degree.

    HAHAHHHAA.... I would love to see his reaction & hear his response! Math people think they have a monopoly, they want people to think its confusing so they feel smarter. Kind of like computer repairmen.

    I bet his response would be something like "obviously he wasn't very good at it"... :) You can tell him I hold 4 degrees, Math, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Electrical Engineering.
