average speed math

the first lap took you 1/60th of an hour

to average 120mph for 2 mi, it must take you 2/120ths of an hour = 1/60th of an hour

When are you guys south of the 49th finally going to smarten up and use the metric system?

This problem has nothing to do with the metric system.

Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?

so, you would need to run the second lap at 180mph? or infinite?

299 792 458 m / s or the speed of light as time would stop for the second lap.

Doing it at the speed of light is sufficient to make YOU think you've done it. But the official timekeeper, watching from the starting line for whom time was not dilated, will argue with you and say you didn't quite do it.

maybe im stupid, but wouldnt the correct answer be "its impossible" rather than "infinitely fast"?

Nothing is impossible. Haven't you ever watched Rocky 5?
