[Hermit 0*] The Lapaloopans who journeyed around their world would die. Can
anyone tell me how and why?
<snap>
[Blunderov 0] Would they fall off? Assuming Laloopa has a normal downwards
pointing gravity, would gravity not push instead of pull at the exact half
way point around the strip when they are [i]underneath[/i] Laloopa?
[Blunderov 0] (Why do I have a feeling this is not the right answer?)

[Hermit 1] The gravitational attraction would presumably be caused by the
material of the loop world, so what is under their feet will always be down.
[Hermit 1] So your speculation was correct. Your answer is wrong. <grin>
Kind Regards
Hermit
PS Once I have three tries or a request, I'll offer a clue.
