Man-made object that perform a "task" in a certain amount of time, measured by seconds...It differs from country to country...Why are there 3 different times for the USA? different locations? different time of the year? does the USA have 3 such objects?
Does it have anything to do with computers/internet?
I am thinking aloud...

Something to do with rocket science :thinking:? Wasn't there recently talk of a new player on the space market? (not sure about Morocca/Australia/Chile though :))

Re: what's my number?
 

To build on Hel's idea. Duration of paper airplanes flights?
But you said no people :hmm:

Re: what's my number?
 

... different locations ...
:nod:
If I had made the list longer, we would see more countries.

... space market ...
Nothing to do with science.

... Duration of ... flights?
;) comes pretty close.
But paper airplanes are too aerodynamic. My times do not consider air friction.

Re: what's my number?
 

at first i was thinking length of time it takes to serve/make a big mac :rotfl:

would the longer the time duration be negative? if flights are close. then is it about travel?

Re: what's my number?
 

No negative durations. The longer the list, the shorter the duration; approaching (yet not reaching) zero.

A flight is usually a horizontal movement. But here we have to think 'vertical' ;)

Re: what's my number?
 

elevators/escalators? something to do with towers?

Re: what's my number?
 

Haha, new spec for elevators: "0-100 km/h in ... seconds!". Could be right though, those countries do feature in this fastest elevator list, though I can't make up the numbers ;)

Re: what's my number?
 

... to do with towers ...
:nod: that's right.

... elevator list ...
Although Burj Khalifa and Taipei 101 are on my list too, it's not about interior features.

Time for a free fall from the top to ground level :)?
