If I am correct it is the Ionosphere, if I'm not it is something else.

Why is common sense not common?
Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level where they are an expert.

Wow, I am suprised more people didn't take more of guess on this one.

How can you drop a dime from 4 inches above the table and have it reliably land on its edge?

Make it a very fat dime?
In case you're not allowed to do that, you can place a box on the table that is too narrow for the coin to be placed flat, and then drop the coin into the box.
Cheers,
Vikram.

Turn the table on it's side and drop the dime on the table's edge.
|
|
|
|
|
1) Leave it in the roll with the rest of the dimes.
2) Dip it in your beer and let it slide down the outside of your glass.

Let the dime roll off of your finger.

How about spin the dime as your are dropping it so it will continue to spin. It will be on an edge until it stops spinning. But it did 'land on an edge.'

Lots of creative answers for this one.
Hold it against a "sweaty" cocktail glass and let it go. It will slide right down the side of the glass.

That's not dropping ... that's "letting go"

If I'm driving down a dark road at the speed of light and I suddenly turn my
headlights on, will I see anything?

No, because you will have infinite mass, the gravitational pull you have on the objects around you will mean that what ever road you were driving on has been ripped out of the ground and is sticking your your infinitely massive body* , as will the ground the road was on, etc.
You will see nothing as even the light you emit will be unable to escape the now densly crushed headlights of the car.

So that's why my fingers get heavier after I've been typing for a while then. I've always wondered...

Welcome to CP in your language. Post the unicode version in My CP Blog [ ^ ] now.
People who don't understand how awesome Firefox is have never used CPhog. The act of using CPhog alone doesn't make Firefox cool. It opens your eyes to the possibilities and then you start looking for other things like CPhog and your eyes are suddenly open to all sorts of useful things all through Firefox. - (Self Quote)

If you had a vehicle that could go the speed of light (impossible due to the whole approching infinante mass and time approching zero thing) you wouldn't see the light. The photon's would only keep up with you but not "shine" ahead of you.
So you wouldn't see the tree as you smash into it...at the speed of light...And that, kids, is what causes Nova's.

What happens to the photons that are being generated then? Do they sort of pool up at their source?

eh, stop bugging me about it, give it a couple of days, see what happens.

No, because you are going the speed of light, the light would not be able to shine from the headlights. Therefore it couldn't bounce of an object, and return to your eyes, creating an image you could see.
|

Regardless of an infinite mass (or even a zero mass), time itself is literally stopped for an object traveling at the speed of light. It is meaningless to "turn on" the headlights. You would not age even a moment to be aware of your circumstances, and you could perform no action in that "instant".
