(Solve for Tom Bissell)

By Waldo Jaquith

March 14th, 2008

How do we manage to put out such a great magazine four times a year? It was a closely-held secret, but a physics student has cracked the code using the equations F=qvB=v^2/r and L=Iw=mrv=rp (where p=mv). Baffled by the outcome, he writes:

I also tried starting with M=Torque/B and substituting I*(angular acceleration) for torque but you just end up with VQR.

As we well know, L=Ren Weschler and B=Percolator. It’s only a matter of time until the kid figures that out, and then the jig is up.
