The restaraunt at the top of the CN tower in Toronto?

I'm thrown off by a linear speed for rotation, I'm an engineer, need Hz or at least RPM Wink

by **Pal Joey** Tue Sep 13, 2011 3:27 pm

Challenger disaster was around that time...? but in January from memory. Drats!

by Davie Tue Sep 13, 2011 3:31 pm

June '86 IS important. Not that it couldn't have happened before then - but it didn't

My source claims it's always clockwise but I reckon I've seen it go anti-clockwise also

Maybe it depends which hemisphere you're in Whistle

by Fernando Tue Sep 13, 2011 3:32 pm

Your all going to kick yourselves when you figure the answer Chief

by **Kenny** Tue Sep 13, 2011 3:34 pm

so its not happening all the time ?

by sodhat Tue Sep 13, 2011 3:34 pm

is it toilet water or water draining in general...i remember the simpsons episode in Aus!

by Davie Tue Sep 13, 2011 3:35 pm

Not all the time, no.

Forget the science angle - think more in terms of sporting or entertainment events and in particular what happened in June '86 (and where)

by **Kenny** Tue Sep 13, 2011 3:36 pm

by mentalrhino Tue Sep 13, 2011 6:14 pm

Montreal or Quebec?

by Suspicious lurker Tue Sep 13, 2011 6:24 pm

The right answer is in there somewhere

by mentalrhino Tue Sep 13, 2011 6:27 pm

I'll guess Montreal, as it's bigger than Quebec and Ottawa, only know this as own ski lodge in Mont Tremblant, QC.
