I like the idea of a different Google question every day, but today's question -- If Paul Revere had ridden a bike to Lexington on today's bike paths (including the Minuteman Commuter Bikeway), about how many minutes would his famous ride have taken from his starting point? -- sent me on a wild goose chase. I guess that's the point, but after several attempts, I did not come up with their answer (67 minutes), and I was left wondering how they could even calculate this. Did they factor in the amount of weight Paul Revere could bench press, or what?
Anyway, since I failed in getting the right answer, I probably don't deserve credit, but I will take an extra entry for the gift certificate, if you please.
Don't feel bad 'Femme! I apparently chose the wrong tour when I looked it up the first time, and when combined with the average bicycling speed I also looked up, I came up with more than ten times the "right" answer. It didn't sound right, but it was Googled, ya know? :)
