How many horsepower in a horse?

[Proud American]

According to the internet the answer is 14.9. This means my car is actually only 44.5 horsepower in it's truest sense. Still impressive. A full grown horse is pretty badass.

There’s only 1 horsepower in a horse because it’s just one horse

Yeah, damn impressive.

How many HP is a man in a Bicycle? I can hit over 30 MPH on a straightaway and over 50 on a hill.

About one HP on a good day. Well trained athletes maybe more.
We could get out the calculators, but we need the hills' grade, then use your time (speed) to climb.

I used to be. I am 5’10” and I could dunk a basketball one or two hands and backwards for good measure. Not sure if I will ever get to that point again at 60 so it’s the bike. Less stress on the joints.

Now, you have to ask, why 550 pounds of coal?

 

[Hunter]

cuz 550 pounds of diamond cost to much?

 

[Tsubahog]

It’s a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma

 

[stonewall]

Probably because that is what the nerd that was thinking about ratings had in has lab at the time. LOL

You know they are both related?

Like people, the diamonds survived a lot of heat and pressure to become something greater than they were.
