Come on don't you people have to work or something:)

This reminds me of a quiz Karl had a few years ago.  The fourth question should be - What direction was the bike going?  There should be enough information in the evidence, but I forgot the mathematics.

Boy, you leave the party a bit early and you miss all the fun.

The math: The key is that a tangent line on the rear wheel track will always intersect the front wheel track at a distance equal to the wheelbase. As long as the front wheel wiggles some, you will be able to tell which direction the bike is headed. However, Sean's butt/back is shorter than a wheel base - but, you know what the right direction is anyway...

I don't believe Sean's butt is much shorter than a bike wheelbase.  When I'm riding behind him the words "wide load" often come to mind.  :)

Brad Pitt?  Maybe Alec Baldwin  :)
