OpenStudy (anonymous):

If i and you both lift 50 pounds of boulder .. and if u do it in LESS time than i did.. who is better at doing that work? you or me?? who is powerful? or who had MORE power in doing that work?!?

OpenStudy (kmullis6):

You did. @Mashy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so.. imagine.. u wanted to hire someone to lift Boulders and keep it on a high shelf.. whom would you higher? the one who does it slowly? (ergo takes more time to do it) or one who can do it quickly? (takes less time to do it?)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (kmullis6):

@Mashy I would hire the one that was faster.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
