800 metres IS about 0.5 miles - so it does have facts to prove it - mathematical facts.

btw I think Q4 is 1880, not 1884.

cant be the business wasnt started untill 1883 and was invented after that

sahun

ive searched the whole site, does anyone have any idea whereabouts the other answers could come from?

I saw the 800m per hour bit but thats what they say is the best speed for the pea whereas the question says fastest - do you think this is the same thing?

Another part of my brain is wondering why am I going to so much trouble for a whistle I didn't know I wanted before I saw this post!! LOL

it says "His whistle business was very small until in 1883 The London Metropolitan Police advertised for an idea to replace the policeman’s rattle a cumbersome means of communication for the bobby on his “beat” (the name given to his patrol). Joseph Hudson invented a novel whistle for the purpose. "

if it was invented for that purpose it must have been after 1983 when that purpose came about...i think

also the 800m per hour converts to 0.4970969537898672 miles o 0.5 isn't right either - should we right and tell them and hope we get a free whistle for our efforts!? i think not!
