RE: The classic problem is not satisfactory solution: walk or run under the rain wet?

in #gaming7 years ago

You should run. The time is the main factor here. Even if running makes the impact more intensive, you get much more wet standing or walkin slower, because you have to do the distance in anyway.
And while the walkers continue asking themselves whether they should run, the runners already made it to a dry place.

Sort:  

Actually unless you can consistently run at Usain Bolt's Speed (slightly greater than 9m/s as rain typically falls at a terminal velocity between 9m/s and 13m/s depending on size of droplet) then it doesn't matter how fast you run, in fact because your speed will be lower than that of the rain, and the rain is consistently 'falling' you can approximate it as a body of water and hence the difference between walking and running is nil.
