We recently saw an episode where Nick was burried alive but everyone could watch him through a web cam. This of course is absurd.

Even highschool physics students would know better, wouldn't they? It's closer to 60 m/s for a human and 9.8 m/s/s is the acceleration due to gravity.</p> Yes, I expect too much but it basically boils down to a simple rule.
