Weekend Question #1

[leebca]

A computer was given the task to design the perfect shape to move through seawater. This would be an efficient shape. Drag would be minimum and the energy to move the shape through the water needed to be minimized.

The computer came up with a shape of one of the marine fishes that are currently in the sea. Anyone can guess or know that fish?

 

[roblou]

I'll guess pipefish...I think that's what they're called anyways.

 

[LakeEd]

I'll play...

Going way out... Jellyfish???

Most likely more correct answer: Wrass

 

[LarryB]

oh, I love these...

I'll say shark

 

[Herefishyfishy]

Tuna.......

 

[count dracula]

i'm guessing some type of whale... is that a fish?

 

[leebca]

Whale is a bit ambiguous. Humans have managed to put the word "whale" into names of dolphins. Generally, they are not fish. Whales breathe with lungs (mammal), fish breathe with gills.

 

[Scooterman]

Stingray

 

[count dracula]

ok then I'm going to have to side with Herefishyfishy and say Tuna. sleek doesn't always = efficient

 

[roscoe]

I say the Great Barracuda

 

[theJ]

something the shape of a boxfish?

 

[ajnweb]

Instinct says Tuna or Maco, but I am going to go with a Box Fish????

 

[logiktest]

I'll go with some sort of sailfish.

 

[Reefergeorge]

I have to second the sailfish.

 

[DonW]

I'm pretty sure Ive read the same article, so here is a hint.

 

[theJ]

[DonW]

lol don, exactly what i was thinking

We model alot of things after things in nature, where do you think velcro came from.

[LarryB]

That car don't look like no tuna, maybe a sunfish? Ever seen one of those? a giant fish head with a tail.

 

[Damsel13]

I say shark.

 

[brandyrb]

I agree w/ stingray
