Default OT: How fast can people run, how high can they jump, how hard can they think?

I'm looking for graphs. That kind of stuff would be usefull if I'm going to be a writer or a programmer, which are the two things I'm considering.

I've tried net searches, but I didn't find anything. I'll be trying some more, but it doesn't look promising.

See you monday.

btw, it is impossible to 'Think Hard'. the thought process is cerebral. It has no physical form. You can however 'intensify', 'focus' and 'clairify' thoughts.

As to how high a person can jump,.. well, anyone can jump off a high building

and Lastly, if you run down an almost vertical surface, you could potentially reach terminal velocity.

Cheers!

Have you looked here?

http://www.ex.ac.uk/cimt/data/olympics/olymindx.htm


It is not graphical, but should have the data that you could use to build your own.
