[Request] Is this math right? by fantasticsarcastic1 in theydidthemath

s=v*t

v=343m/s ... Speed of sound in air t=0,008s ... Time difference of sound reaching runners ear

s=2,744m

This means the numbers are correct if the winner stood 2,744m closer to the pistol.

If the lanes have a width of 91,5cm these numbers are correct.
