"c" is also known as "celerity" and "velocity" of light. These should be accepted, too.

In general, velocity has a direction, while speed is just the number. Think 20mph vs. 20mph North.

From the time of the Emperor Heraclius onwards, the official language was Greek, so Greek really should be an acceptable answer.

People who have had only had high school physics should really stop trying to argue about Special Relativity. No offense, but seriously. (And "speed of light" is indeed the perfectly appropriate answer.)

Its the morning hair of the dog concoction served by the same folks who served you vodka and wild turkey the night before.

If you ever are ordering OJ for breakfast, even, nay, especially from your Moms, ask for an upgrade to 'mimosa', with a wink and a nod!

With the questions like "What three letters complete this sequence?" etc, etc. When you give the answers, could an explanation be attached please? They never mean anything to me before or after the answer is revealed (my brain obviously don't work that way). Thanks
