This reminds me of an old conundrum ­ did you realise that every time a fly
hits your Ercoupe in flight that it stops it?

The thinking goes like this.  You are flying along and hit a fly.  The fly
was buzzing along at say 5 kts towards you.  After impact it is flying in
the other direction at your airspeed of say 85 kts.  So it slowed up to
stationary, then accelerated in the other direction.  So at some stage it
wasn¹t moving, so therefore neither was your Ercoupe.  So the fly stopped
your ŒCoupe!

Happy puzzling,

Mike
