Serious question

[Parson Henry]

How do the blokes who mark out running tracks on school playing fields do it so precisely?

I never thought about this until today.

A tape measure, a long bit of string and a pointy stick.

It's basic geometry not rocket science!

Obviously they don't,which is obviously why it used to take me 6 minutes 43 seconds to run 400 metres(when I was a lot younger,and not carrying 39 years worth of best bitter)

Tangent of a circle maybe but how does that work for the elliptical type shape of a running track?

 

[Titanic]

Typically a running track is two straight and hopefully parallel sides, joined by an arc (often a semi-circle) - it is not an ellipse.

would cause problems with runners crashing into each other on the cross over...
...actually, that would liven up the long distance races!

Indeed would liven up Sports day!!

Come to think of it why not introduce the idea of playing the Benny Hill tune for all the sprint races?

Don't they just go over the faded lines from the previous year? Means that not all of them need to be skilled, as long as one was, many years ago?

Look mate. I pose a question that is burning within my inquisitive psyche and you pop up and have a pop.

Don't take on something that you can't handle - pansy pants.
