I'm thrown off by a linear speed for rotation, I'm an engineer, need Hz or at least RPM Wink

Challenger disaster was around that time...? but in January from memory. Drats!

by Davie Tue 13 Sep 2011, 3:31 pm

June '86 IS important. Not that it couldn't have happened before then - but it didn't

My source claims it's always clockwise but I reckon I've seen it go anti-clockwise also

Maybe it depends which hemisphere you're in Whistle

by Fernando Tue 13 Sep 2011, 3:32 pm

Your all going to kick yourselves when you figure the answer Chief

by **Kenny** Tue 13 Sep 2011, 3:34 pm

so its not happening all the time ?

by sodhat Tue 13 Sep 2011, 3:34 pm

is it toilet water or water draining in general...i remember the simpsons episode in Aus!

by Davie Tue 13 Sep 2011, 3:35 pm

Not all the time, no.

Forget the science angle - think more in terms of sporting or entertainment events and in particular what happened in June '86 (and where)

by **Kenny** Tue 13 Sep 2011, 3:36 pm

Montreal or Quebec?

by Suspicious lurker Tue 13 Sep 2011, 6:24 pm

The right answer is in there somewhere

by mentalrhino Tue 13 Sep 2011, 6:27 pm

I'll guess Montreal, as it's bigger than Quebec and Ottawa, only know this as own ski lodge in Mont Tremblant, QC.
