Brian Teaser

[fallen-archie]

How many minutes in a lifetime?

[bjenkinsbuildersmerchants]

Can I play, even though I'm not called Brian? 

480 minutes seems to last a lifetime - my working day when I'd rather be in the garden on a day this nice!

[fallen-archie]

Sorry of course you can, I will put a gladys teaser up next 🙂

Depends how long the lifetime is.

[fallen-archie]

Allright Harry, to clarify, how many minutes in an indefinate period?  Hope that helps.

[mustard-tree]

An indefinate number of minutes?

[suzieseaside]

Total number of heartbeats x (60 / average heart rate per min)

?

[fallen-archie]

Well that's much clearer

[suzieseaside]

I thought so Watson

[Anonymous]

Yeah clear as mud.

An indefinite time can't be measured.

[fallen-archie]

I would be most surprised if one of the uber intelligent boffins on here couldn't present a formula

[Anonymous]

Time the way we measure it doesn't excist.

Maybe CD knows the answer.

Is Teaser his surname?

As the RT drags its dying carcass into the forum breakers yard, it is still possible to spark a hint of activity by planting a deliberate mistake. While posts and threads get less and less there remains a large number of post viewers and it is they I was attempting to stimulate. I am not sure whether the views figure is everyone who pops in or just registered members, I suspect it is the former so many may be old friends or foes who are no longer able to participate.
Brian has triumphed over Brain here which doesn't surprise me. The original question was borne out of the male half of tha sixties singing duo Nina and .....Ck, It was suggested that suspensions are now measured by the minute, so a 10000 minute suspension equates to 6.94 days, In my book that suggests a discount, Well done Ebay, one small step of common sense, a slighter smaller step to forum survival.

Oh well, if it's the breakers yard that you want, ...

Was the spelling mistake deliberate?.

[fallen-archie]

To be honest my spelling is not what it once was mainly due to me using kit which has predictive facility, but advancing years also play their part. It's good to have an edit facility on here but some get away due to lack of attention to detail.
As far as Brian goes I typed in Brain Teaser then changed it to Brian in the safe and certain knowledge that it would draw a comment.

[margaret*e]

It wasn't Brian I meant, it was the spelling of indefinite, with an A, often seen on the boards.

[fallen-archie]

My explanation stands, Thank you for taking the trouble to proof the post they say you're never to old to learn but in this instance at least I believe I shall 🙂
