QuoteOriginally posted by: Traden4AlphaPerhaps my dynamics knowledge is rusty after almost 20 years, but I could not make juggling work.15 weight units of upward force (the max that the bridge can handle) exerted on a 10 unit ball for 2 time units (1 time unit to decelerate the falling ball & 1 time unit of accelerate the ball) only provides 1 time unit of air time which isn't enough to handle the second ball. Unless she is Zeno's juggler (each successive juggling cycle being half the height of the previous one), I don't see how this works.What am I missing?!?!?!It seems the problem does not ask for physics knowledge, but for "out-of-the-box" thinking, even if it will not work in reality (like finding a specific name in the phone list).
