text: Laden or unladen?\n\nIs it gripping it by the husk?\n\nI know! It's a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a 1 pound coconut. So, in order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings 43 times every second, right? Yeah, an African swallow maybe, but not a European swallow, that's my point. But then of course African swallows are not migratory.\nWait a minute -- supposing two swallows carried it together? they'd have to have it on a line... Well, simple! They'd just use a strand of creeper! Held under the dorsal guiding feathers... Well, why not?\n\nHmmm... weight = X trial 1 X trial 2 X trial 3 = #VALUE\n+\ndistance = a?\n\nNow all we need are a couple of swallows and a coconut (and the strand of creeper)!!!
