<p>I sincerely hope that the people who have been saying that it would stand still are NOT from MIT.</p>
<p>What do wheels have to do with taking off on an airplane? NOTHING! Who the **** cares what the runway does (if the plane’s bearings are good enough)??? Draw yourself a *<strong><em>ing force diagram at least. Make sure to draw some nice jet engines or at least propellers. *</em></strong> A plane does not work like a car while taking off.</p>
<p>EDIT: Oops, I didn’t realize there were 8 pages… anyway, The riddle does have a flaw in it, because it doesnt say what the treadmill would match the speed to. If it were to match the planes speed with regard to the treadmill itself, it would cause it to go to infinity which can’t happen…</p>
