ok..my first "complaint" of the day..and I quote:

Today's question is:

The average speed of one of these, in flight, is 173 mph

Yep, a golf ball in flight averages 173 mph. Makes sense to me.....

How is that different than a sneeze which was a popular guess?

I'm terribly ashamed! What's worse is, I still think it's a hummingbird. It was the first thing that popped into my head when I read the question and was devastated that bigack beat me to it.

I have no clue about today's question. Celebrates the New Year.

well, the question said an average of 173, and the answer said 280....???

oops, Jean, I changed the question yesterday to reflect MPH, I just copied it today and accidentally left it at KPH

ahhhh ok....
all is forgiven LoL

Answer for today's question:

Listens to the radio

georgysmom, hummingbirds top speed is 60 MPH. They look like they're going faster because of their size. Peregrine falcons are the fastest divers but they don't get to 170 MPH.

I got nothing for today's answer.

Of the world, changes a lot of considerations. How many guesses?

Speaks more than one language?

Has no running water.

Goes to bed hungry.

Maybe Georgy's balls go faster and sucha speed would not even be a consideration.

She coulda thrown it that far I bet.
In fact, I think I have seen her on television throwing something. But I'm not sure.

Think of it as a kind of custom, and to do with transportation.

Uses a bike as their only form of transportation. There.

That would be my guess, Ellie. China's main mode of transportation.

Oh, Ellie. You are not only funny, you are very smart, too! I say ride a bike as main form of transportation, too.

They walk every where they go.
