Specifically, anybody know what makes one chair comfortable and another uncomfortable? What are some of the common materials used in chairs like office chairs and recliners? Surely it isn't just foam. That wouldn't explain why some chairs can withstand abuse and others (usually cheaper) fall apart within a year. Hope somebody knows something about this. I've just spent five hours researching on the internet and I can't find nothing.

2.While traveling from one station to the next, after 1 hour a piston burst. As a result the party could only proceed at 3/5 their original speed and arrived 1 hour late. If however the accident had
happened 50 minutes later, they would have arrived 40 minutes earlier than the time they did arrive
at. What is the distance between the stations?

A really easy one to finish off your week.

I have a full 1 kg bag of sand. I then take it to Jupiter where
Gravity is 2.5 times that of earth.

What is the Weight of the aforementioned bag:
1) Before it left Earth
2) When on Jupiter

Fastest Fingers first.

Ignoring the fact that Jupiter is a Gas giant, and has such immense
Gravity, Pressure and other unpleasentries, it is not really possible
to land on Jupiter (Just in case you were wanting to make plans for next summer).

The gravity strength is not really 2.5 times earth, maybe more 2.3 that of earth. Whilst it is fractionally weaker, that close figure has been used to remove the need of calculators.

president bush vetoed this funding.Now scientists have found how to make stem cells from embryos without destroying the embryo in the process, a breakthrough that should remove the key objection to embryonic stem cell research that has stood in the way of federal funding. stem cell research is
key to treating diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and diabetes .
