What makes you wetter?

Running in the rain or walking briskly? Some argue that by running you expose yourself to more drops than you would by just walking. What is your opinion on this?

    It depends. If going slowly made you always less wet. it would stand to reason that standing still would make you even less so. Yet, if you did, you would get completely drenched, because you would be exposed for as long as it rains (possibly forever).

    In reality, while it is true that moving faster will get you wetter, it will also get you out of the rain in less time. So, in the end, it comes down to a case by case calculation.

    Running will make you wetter than walking. For sure.
