Have you ever been to the crest of a rollercoaster and have seen the whole amusment park and beyond. Well some guy with WAY too much time, created a formula to determine how far out you can see in miles!
The formula is pretty easy:
(A=altitude in FEET)
Distance in Miles= 1.22 X (square root of A)
For example if a rollercoaster's crest is 400 feet above sea level than you would see for 24.4 miles out (1.22 X square root of 400[20])

Finally......A NEW POST!
Many of you have been wondering if I was going to post anymore (hopefully). Recently, I have had restricted acess to the computer due to many physical changes to my house but its now over so I hope to continue posting regularrly.
Here's a formula I found out by MYSELF (no books, websites, etc.)
If n is any positive number then:
2n+1= (n+1)^2 - n
