Maggie:

I LOVE lost and really dig Shannon's character. If you don't mind me saying so, you're a doll!

I have an important physics question for you. You may need a calculator and some paper.

"Two coupled railroad cars roll along and couple with a third car, which is initially at rest. These three roll along and couple to a fourth car initially at rest. This process continues until the speed of the final collection of railroad cars is 1/10th the speed of the initial two railroad cars. All the cars are identical. If this scenario is true and we ignore friction, what happens on the season finale of LOST?"

This is very important. Let me know as soon as you can.

Thanks for your help!
