80 minutes, since 60 players have to play it twice to equal 120 players.

Yes AI, this is how it works.

Give the conductor amphetamines? Shave 3-6 minutes of the time

Look up "Leo P at the proms" for a great example of this

How many players does it take to play Beethoven's 36th symphony in 60 minutes?

Pretty sure the answer is just "40 minutes" and it is a question to make someone think about what they are doing rather than automatically solve every task.

But it’s still wrong, though, as the 9th is about 70 minutes.

There’s even a myth saying that the 9th was the determinant for the length of the original CD.

That's how long it usually takes since usually it's played with about 200 players

This is similar to something I assumed right before I had a long argument with a high school physics teacher. We ended up agreeing that he just didn't really care.

I remember something similar from a kids riddle book like 30 years ago about cooking stuff in an oven

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago

Yeah, this seems like an obvious trick question.

That doesn't sound like giving it 110% and being a team player. We are a family here. We need go getters. We gotta make it happen.

WINDMILLS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY*

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The line is "WINDMILLS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY!"

I remember, because I say it a lot.

Shoot, you're right. I knew it felt off when I typed it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

That's OK, memory is weird like that.

You know, I was thinking T = (0P) + 40, but that implies that 0 people would still be able to play the song in 40 minutes and that doesn't feel right.

Yours also implies that any number of negative people could play the song in the same amount of time, and that also feels correct.
