View Full Version : Which would be faster
Been debating this on the way back from Dorchester with a mate this evening.
Imagine if you had two rows of dominos, but instead of using actual dominos you had a row of bourbon biscuits and a row of custard cremes (rows of equal length of course). Which would fall to the end of the line faster?

Bourbon :thumb:.
im going to have to go with the bourbon lol
I believe they are taller than the custard creme, thus would have a greater rate of downward acceleration when toppled?
We'll see what the boys at the lab have to say before I post any concrete evidence, i am after all, a mere layman of biscuit topple technology
.........after i spotted this awesome thread I got my discuss on with my mate on msn, i've just finished my shift and he is a lazy jobless **** lol
L14M NP - North Korea testing nukes! Crazy dog eating ****s! says:
whats ur take on that thread?
Conor - WoRM: A wanted criminal says:
hhmm - custard cremes have a shorter distance to fall mind you
L14M NP - North Korea testing nukes! Crazy dog eating ****s! says:
swings and roundabouts im afraid
L14M NP - North Korea testing nukes! Crazy dog eating ****s! says:
i wonder which weighs the most?
Conor - WoRM: A wanted criminal says:
cc's are wider than bb's - but bb's are taller
Conor - WoRM: A wanted criminal says:
cud be close
L14M NP - North Korea testing nukes! Crazy dog eating ****s! says:
my thoughts exactly
L14M NP - North Korea testing nukes! Crazy dog eating ****s! says:
woulda thought the cc was heavier
L14M NP - North Korea testing nukes! Crazy dog eating ****s! says:
bb has 'speed holes' lol
Conor - WoRM: A wanted criminal says:
lol
Conor - WoRM: A wanted criminal says:
so does cc
L14M NP - North Korea testing nukes! Crazy dog eating ****s! says:
hmm its been a while
L14M NP - North Korea testing nukes! Crazy dog eating ****s! says:
both are better than them ****ty sports biscuits! remember that ****?
L14M NP - North Korea testing nukes! Crazy dog eating ****s! says:
i might get some bb/cc tomorrow, or at least examine the gross weights of the respective packs lol
......ha ha yeah i was bored :thumb:
Oh dear....:confused::tard:
Well I thought bourbon as well, but then surely custard cremes - being shorter and IMO a little heavier - would fall faster? Although I suppose you could use less bourbons if they're taller. Dilemma!
Oh well I know what I'll be doing tonight, wonder if Tesco have any offers on biscuits lmfao
If you could optimize the lining up of the biscuits then the bourbons could be spaced further apart and therefore you could use less biscuits and make the line run faster.
If not the bourbons could have the advantage because they are taller and would hit the next biscuit at a lesser angle than the custard cr?me. However the rate of fall for the custard cr?me would be faster so that advantage maybe eaten up and the race could be a dead heat.
My concern is that if someone ate one of the biscuits in the middle of the line. If that was the case the line would be broken and the other biscuit would win. So it could depend on who is in the room, a bourbon fan or a custard cr?me fan.
Good point, didn't consider the Biscuit Eat Rate!
The bourbons would probably be more resilient to Biscuit Eat as, being taller, they might be able to fall across a gap and keep the chain going.

go out and buy several packets of economy custard cremes and bourbons... cheap ones are the same size and shape. Give it a go.
I reckon bourbon would be quicker... they're chocolate flavoured, so a bit heavier, so give more force when impacting on the next biscuit lol
in my opinion it all depends on wether it is equal spacing and what that spacing is
i agree with dar , because the bourbons are taller they would hit the next biscuit first
but chocolate malted milk would kick both their ases

10-10-06, 02:28 PM
I still reckon bourbon would win even if you used the cheap ones that were equal size as their custard cream counter parts.
For a start, the textured finish of a custard cream could create drag lol

10-10-06, 03:01 PM
its all about aerodynamics really,being a proffesional in this topic for the passed 10 years,there are more grooves on a custard cream therefore allowing drag so they will fall slower(also they are fatter so acceleration wud b quicker in the long run)depending how many biscuits you lay out may depend on who finished first,bourbons have the quicker start though as being lighter thinner and less grooves causing drag.
p.s the biscuit pro
lmao
would anything like windmills and merry-go-rounds affect the speed tho ?? or stuff like the chute with the ball bearing run
wisewood
10-10-06, 03:10 PM
how can you be certain the bourbon would be lighter? i would say it was heavier... not much narrower, and quite a bit longer... thickness in similar.

The only way to solve it is to test it.
wisewood
10-10-06, 03:20 PM
as i said earlier - go out and buy some.
?0.49 Tesco Value Bourbon Creams (400g)
?0.49 Tesco Value Custard Creams (400g)
I reckon 10 packs of each should suffice lol
^^ if you bought 20 packs of biscuit can you hanestly say you wouldnt have a few tho
wisewood
10-10-06, 03:33 PM
if i bought 20 packets of biscuits, i would eat them all - even after they've been laying on the floor for twenty minutes while you set up the "rally" lol
Girl at work fetched in a cake today - her Gran made it, but she cant face eating any as she's pregnant and it made her feel ill just having it in the house. Nice one!!

I dont particulary like bourbons or custard creams.

what about the new bb`s that are the same size as cc`s? ah? its gotta be a draw!

10-10-06, 03:37 PM
another thing i have been talking about - but nobody would listen to me lol
Matt2107
10-10-06, 03:40 PM
I listened.. just couldnt be ****ed to post.
what if jammy dodgers got the thru the qualifying rounds - how would they compare ??
Jammy dodgers are round. So they'd wobble when you stand them up. I reckon Bourbons would win, cuz of the density of the chocolate in the biscuit. And the cream inside is thicker then custard creams....
Plus Bourbons are so much more yummier :D:p
but if you weighted the jammy dodgers jam up they fall quicker
But then there would be an obstruction that would stop them falling as quickly because they'd be weighted.
but, being top heavy require less force to topple them therefore resulting in less effort needed so should be quicker
do you think we could get a lottery grant to fund our research ?
lol
I would hope not. If not it would confirm my theroy that this country spends money on pointless things.:)
but how is the "royal gay and lesbian 1 armed asylum seeking pinball team" pointless ??

I'm sorry but its just too easy hun.
I will control myself now.
Anyway; I intend to test this either tonight or tomorrow. Full scientific report to follow after experimentation!

include pics.... and a little chequered flag for the winner!!! lol
item of diffent weight fall at the same speed... remember the bowling ball and fether thing at school. also would the gaps between each biscuit be the same or would it be relashoin to the size of BB, CC?
Rj you need pit girl's(girl)to wave the chequered flag, for you race i think pics of pit girl('s) are as importane and the results.

What type of biscuit is girly? Pink Wafers? They could wave the flaglol
a full on multi buiscuit drag race is needed!!!!
pink wafers, tunnocks bus stop buiscuits, penguins, bourbons, custard cremes etc..

Hobnobs!!
estimated 1/4 mile of a bourbon anybody ??
quicker than BT ?? :p lol
I will add Pink Wafers!!! Into this equation!
Nova_Houch7
10-10-06, 11:43 PM
I like cc's more, but i think the bourbons would win!
If anyone does decide to do this, please video it!
.........Or ill end up having a go at it ;)
Wat sorta distance are we talkin?

Oh will you!
Video/pictoral evidence will be provided. Damn, I need to find me a lab coat lol
pink wafers are too girly, too light and too crumbly, so they would lose, lol, the hob knob is the mans biscuit and is as hard as hell, but only for combat, not for race
now, if the jaffa was square, that would win hands down, but thats classed as a cake, so i duno!
lol
Hobnobs aren't capable of standing under their own power!
Fool! lol
Hang up your lab coat and remove your safety glasses on your way out :D
Hobnobs!!
wisewood
11-10-06, 04:02 PM
Even if hobnobs could stand, they crumble easily. I cant remember what they're called, Dunkers i think, really thick, hard biscuits, covered in thick chocolate - designed for dunking in a hot drink - they're f*cking legendary those things. Could use them as a projectile to take out North Korea
theres one weve forgot, that sits on the fence of both bikkys
ok, weve got the tall, slim choco barbon, and the short but dumpy, but populer custard cream, but what about the deceiver? the choco 'tard cream?
whos side is he on?

I know which biscuits you're on about. I'd ask to put them in the race, but then there'd be no competition on who would win ;)

Sorry, was too busy laughing at the limp excuse for a film that is Tokyo Drift this evening, so scientific experiments have been put on hold til tomorrow :p
He'll eat all the biscuits by then!! :p
Thats why I haven't bought them yet.

I've never got quite so excited over some biscuits.
I've never got quite so excited over some biscuits.
im leaving that 1 alone !!
Prob the bourbans bcoz id of eaten them all by then
In my humble opinion, the much maligned Club Wafer would wup all of them.
I do believe however that the pink 'plywood' biscuit would be better for playing jenga with.
Im dying to see the results!
And if the bourbons do the quarter in less than 16.7 seconds, im leaving the country in shame!

And its a win by the bourbons!
Well, wats next then?
Put another biscuit up against the bourbon! like winnner stays on!

i dunno why but that is such comedy, i couldnt stop laughing
Jack, I am impressed by your dilligence to scientific reasearch. Also for the comedy value of the vid.
That was ****ing brilliant Jack :thumb:
I was actually sitting here giggling with excitment as the video loaded.
Maybe you two should try and get a job on Braniac with those thorough scientific skills.
lol t'was rather fun :D
Hmm... what food items to race next. Downhill melon vs pumpkin perhaps lol
lol at the scientifics of it all !!
how would you RR a bourbon tho ??

pmsl. .... my fav bit is right at the end where you grab the biscuit and shove it in your mouth.
At work I have no sound.
Was there commentary or sound track?
yeah make a cool little assault course and a league table... more contenders, more events- eventually having a final with the losers along the way getting dunked!!!lol :thumb:
LET THE BEST BISCUIT WIN!!!
the commentary was the best bit lol...
Matt, yeah there was sound. Running commentary from me and the odd comment from my associate lol
LMAO, that was quality!
RJ, make sure you keep an eye on the comments section as im sure the idiot yanks will have something to say about it. lol

Do they actually have bourbons and custard creams in Yank land?
PMSL @ that vid lol top stuff :thumb:

Jack dude that vid ruled.... I think you need to try and create the honda style one with the perfectly balanced objects next... but only made from biscuits....
I think you should get some sort of award for that vid. I can't believe I just spent 6 minutes watching that it was rivetting.
As a safeguard, you could actually race 2 lines of the same variety to see if they would synchronise
I still think that Pink Plywood biscuits would whip them both.
how about bourbons vs jammy didgers? now that would be a tricky one
lol lol lol lol lol
that video was legendary haha!!i would of said custard creams personally!! but the bourbons owned the custard creams!!haha!!!
Thats was great. And just make me think now. what would win out of a dipping contest? what can hold the most tea before breaking
How did i miss this thread! Now when i came back and said 'did i miss anything' - well this would be it. You all (premium members) know how much i love me biscuits :grrrr:
Well good vid btw. I argee with boredbloke tho, a honda style vid should be made. ummm just bought a new camera....watch this space.
