How long can an IDE cable be?

If you are swimming in treacle, there's a good chance that the guy in the next lane from the 8 swimmers BEHIND you will finish before you do as he's swimming through water, and you're in treacle.

While I agree with you completely on your explanation, I must point out that the treacle/water analogy is flawed - there is now difference in maximum potential swimming speed.

The increased resistance from the treacle will be offset exactly by the increased thrust provided by the more viscous medium. However, I suppose the treacle-swimmer would get tired quicker.

Anyway, moving swiftly on...

Yup. It's also possible to jump out of an aeroplane using an umbrella instead of a parachute, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea

Id like to see you try that on a passenger plane, the cabin crew would be holding you down taking it in turns to kick you
