I'll guess 3 hours



I thought 16K was about 10 miles, which isn't a choice, so I'll go with 7 1/3 :oops:

2 hours sounds about right

None of these seem right - isnt it ten miles?

It must be bed time

I don't see an answer I want to pick. I think 16K would be a bit longer than to 9.3 miles.

That's what I thought too but went with Rule 1.

(Doc always being right, and all.)

Doc is always right, but Doc might be capable of a typo on a Friday night.

Not that any of us are familiar with typos in our own posts.

OK this question is dead.

I went and used the wrong conversion number in my head.

2.2 is to go from kg to pounds.


I really wanted to emphasize the bad pun. The BAM contestants are all walking at 16 K, these days, it seems.

I dunno how many steps it actually is to stage exit, though....

Nobody knows. To the contestants who messed up, it's about 1,000 steps. The contestants who win a million just float off the set, so no steps are required.

10 K is 6ish miles, 5 K is 3ish miles, so 16K would be around 10 miles, so I don't see the answer.

I am confused.

When you are in the hot seat, that is what you say if you want them to stop tape. They get annoyed when you do it.

It was a good pun - It just went over my head.
