Boat motor and floating wood mystery?
Two days ago we bought a boat 25 hp Suzuki. When I was out driving yesterday I just heard a pang, the propeller like it was over water, then half a second later silence, and the boat slowed down and a shower of water falling down on me. When I looked back where the motor used to be it hang after the steering wires underwater. I got it up and got towed back to the harbor. When we got the boat up there were a little dent in the propeller.
What I am wondering is what could have caused the motor to stop that suddenly and jump off the boat.
My theory is that we hit a floating log, the only thing bugging me about this is it did not hit the boat first. So it has to be a submerged. So my other question is, can logs be Submerged in if they are filled with the right amount of water. To the point where the propeller will hit and not the boat(ca 30 cm).
And the last thing, but I can not get my head around. The engine cover disappear.
The propeller was spinning at a rate about: 2-3000 rpm

I had a class today showing of colored shadows and how acheave them. We used one white light and 4 diffrent colors. When whe helt a square in front one of the shadows became the color of the one light and for me it looked like the other one. My teacher says it shuld be opposite color (color circle). Since the whiteboard was white and the color was white, I saw it as white. But I was apperantly wrong and might be color blind.

3 AnswersOther - Social Science7 years agoGet relevant results first MySQL/PHP?
OK, so I have decided to make a little search where you can find what words you can find in a string with random placed characters. An example on the query I use is:
"SELECT * FROM 'words' WHERE 'word' LIKE '%a%', 'word' LIKE '%v%', 'word' LIKE '%c%', 'word' LIKE '%b%';"(Mine is just dynamic)
In the DB I have a column witch contains the word "abc" and I want it to show up first. So basically I want the results witch is the most relevant on the top and wondered if this was possible within the query. Or do I have to get the whole database then sort it out in PHP.
I have about +3000 results and it shows with that query every single with those characters witch is many. Can I put a "LIMIT 0, 20" on the query if I want the relevancy?
Hope someone can help me out here :-) If you dint understand a part tell me and I will explain more. Or you need more info.
