Imagine a plane is sitting on the beginning of a massive conveyor belt/travelator type arrangement, as wide and as long as a runway, and intends to take off. The conveyer belt is designed to exactly match the speed of the wheels at any given time, moving in the opposite direction of rotation.
There is no wind.
Can the plane take off?

This is a question that will make you think. There is a correct answer and if you really want to know it then e-mail me.

First question: Has robotics advanced far enought to create a artificial inteligence superior to the human race and will it ever happen that we will be ruled by androids and machines ? Will they ever develop a fully functional artificial brain ?
Second question: Will the human race in the far future be incorporated and eventually become half-human half machine at the rate at which bionics and artificial parts are added to our bodies ?
Third question: Will there ever be a fully functional, fully aware human like android/robot like Sonny on I Robot ?
Fourth question: Why do people have sexual fantasies about robots and machines ? Its even a known fetish, known as ASFR or Technosexuality. Are there any such sites on the internet ?

From the many pictures I've seen of the planets and space bodies, Earth seemed to be the only plane with large bodies of water, endless jungles and teaming with complex life. The others all look pretty much alike - barren rocks and endless lifeless desert. The closest plants to Earth (Venus and Mars) should at least have some environment like Earth.

Is there any proof of perfected geometry/masonry occuring in the habiticaions of animals? Does it only occur in the habitations of man? A honeycomb is somewhat geometric but it is not PERFECTLY geometric as a whole.

Your mission is to accurately measure 9 minutes. You only have two hourglasses at your disposal. One hourglass measures 4 minutes and the other measures 7 minutes. There are two possible answers but I will reward the most elegant solution. You may begin.
