Easy question. Look at the NASTAR handicaps.

The boarders get 10 discount points just for riding one of those things,
plus another 35 for intellectual disability.

With that handicap they'd clean up if they didn't have to stop for a Red
Bull and to bum a smoke in the middle of the race.

Good points Walt.

I stick with short answers having a 5 year old and most peoples
attention span it works out. The other reason is I answer the intern
with the short form of the answer and follow up with a tell me why.
Growing a mechanical engineer means he should understand and apply the
basics, not just be book smart.
