An electric train is moving north at 100kph and a wind is blowing to the west at 10kph.

If Rolf Harris boarded the train with his didgeridoo and the wind changed direction to the East, which way would the smoke blow?

I don't want to blow the whistle on this one - in fact, I can't.

I can assure you, there was a fire with smoke and a hero in Rolf Harris.

I've got it, I've got it.............the east 10 and west 10 cancel each other out so it would stay still?

Electric train must be British to have let out some smoke. I'm sure anyone who owned an old British car or motorcycle knows what I'm talkin' about. :)

Some where I have a cool ad for "replacement Lucas wiring magic smoke" - can't find it right now. :?

Rolf Harris is musician, artist , television host and an awesome legend. 80 years old now :o

His digeridoozela is 4ft long which impresses the laydeez. :shock:

He prefers to take trains these days, so he can tinker with his digeridoo, wobble board and stylophone while he travels.

Ok the answer...

It may have been an electric train with no smoke...

But some scumbags started a fire in one of the carriages. Rolf Harris came to the rescue with sheer awesomeness and put out the fire with his digeridoo.

Anyway teh answer...The smoke will always blow in the same direction as the wind, doesn't matter the train direction or whatever else is going on.

Even if the train is running along a black street without lighting and if the driver wears black clothes? :P

:lol: Well it could have been going through a black tunnel and there was nothing stopping the driver wearing black clothes and a gimp mask.

Remember Rolf Harris was on the train. He is so awesome that he can see through concrete and thus determine the wind direction by looking at some trees in a field.

There was No desert I'm afraid, just normal countryside.

Anyway...Camels is the mode of desert transport, not trains. Even if is was a desert, there could still be palm trees to check the wind direction. Or you could see which way the sand is blowing.
