Elephants and Sandras


Elephant

While Rudiger and Andrea were looking at elephants (and monkeys and other things);

Sandra was learning physics. And I was teaching her physics. All day long!

Hopefully Sandra has a memory like an elephant and tomorrow, when she writes her test, will remember all the stuff she learnt today about Newton's laws of motions and force; and how to solve kinetic and force questions.

For example,
If a monkey is sitting on an elephant;s truck; and the elephant sneezes with a force of 100N how far will the monkey fly into the air and where will it land.

Well? Sandra?

huh?...

.. It's in words that the magic is -- Abracadabra, Open Sesame, and the rest -- but the magic words in one story aren't magical in the next. The real magic is to understand which words work, and when, and for what; the trick is to learn the trick. ... And those words are made from the letters of our alphabet: a couple-dozen squiggles we can draw with the pen. This is the key! And the treasure, too, if we can only get our hands on it! It's as if - as if the key to the treasure is the treasure! ------- John Barth, Chimera
