I shall plump for a boat aswell, the Pride of Bilbao, whose speed is 22 knots (which is approximatly 25.317 147 857 mile/hour according to this wonderful website. As an aside can anyone tell me what exactly is a megameter?)

Normally, 'mega' means 10^6, so if this is right a megametre will be 10^6 metres, which is 1000 kilometers.

Chorister, I'm not sure about Speedy Gonzales, but apparently the Tasmanian Devil is able to do 8.1 mph. Apparently that is at a flat out run, rather than the oft-depicted cyclone-esque movement.

If c represents the speed of light, and c squared is the value of the speed of light multiplied by itself - then how is c² not a speed ? It may not be one we can reach, but surely it is descriptive of a speed.

Speed-squared is not a speed in the same way an area, which is a length squared, is not a length.
However perhaps a dispensation about c c is in order for Think Think .

I see but link mentions c, so I should be all right there as that is a reference to speed - even if a speed itself does not appear in the final equation.

Doublethink - I know c refers to the speed of light; all I meant was that there were no figures/ values for c listed on your link to help others who might be trying to work out the average.
may I also add that I have been impressed at the way people have defended themselves against my pedantry...

Round Three: English Football
I will help you with a link here.
English Football Teams
You must pick one team from each of the lists and the person whose teams score the lowest total of goals will be eliminated. Goals against are not important. So losing 7-6 is much better than winning 1-0.
You cannot choose the same combination but you may choose the same team from any division as a fellow competitor.
So please list in order ...
1.Premiership team
2.Championship team
3.League 1 team
4.League 2 team
5.Conference team
Your choice must be posted before any of your teams kick off.

If everyone starts thinking outside the box does outside the box come back inside?

By the way. One of my teams, Hull City, is very unusual. Does anybody know why?
