what about a helium filled balloon?
well, i dont think the balloon could technically be considered as climbing or descending a hill, as it would just be rising in the air...
what if there was a wind to push it uphill (like a cross breeze).
Very nice, I was thinking of electrons and atoms for the answer but got it wrong . However, great teaser!
I was all fired up to answer this one, but crashed and burned...up! Good one!
Any four legged animal also goes uphill faster than it goes down hill.
Out of curiosity, how does a four-legged animal travel faster up- than down-hill?
This was a good teaser. As soon as I read the answer I was like "hello, self, are you really that dense?" Anyway, I liked it very much!
