Ten years ago, during the final quarter of the 1997 grand final, Kent disappeared. I was left to watch Darren Jarman's onslaught alone. Eight hours later, Kent had not returned. The most worrying part was that he did not drink alcohol. My mother and I stayed awake, hoping he had not kicked the bucket.
At two in the morning, Kent returned home with a large green box. It contained one slice of cheesecake. Kent revealed that he had driven to South Australia after the match. He had purchased an entire cheesecake and had worked his way through it on the drive home to Melbourne. He felt obliged to leave one slice for the remaining three members of our family.
So he left the MCG and headed for where his car was parked around approx 4.20pm during the final quarter, drove to Adelaide, bought a cheesecake and then drove back to Melbourne and arrived home at 2.00am.
He must have been in the express lane, not bad when you also consider he was demolishing a cheesecake on the way.
Everytime I've been in a car to Adelaide it's taken approximately 8 hours just to get there, mmmmmmmm............................
You do the maths, it seems like the squares are rooted!
I haven't done the maths but I've done the english and noted that you have assumed that Adelaide means South Australia.
A trip to, say, Mt Gambier might be possible.
Where could you get a whole cheesecake late on a Saturday night in Mt Gambier though?
