Tootsie Roll Pops

Bohr: There are only two quantized states of the tootsie roll pop, licked and not licked.

Heisenburg: We cannot measure the location of the center of the pop AND the number of licks with certainty.

Plato: The tootsie roll pop is just the physical representation of a perfect pop, which only takes one lick.

Einstein: As the tootsie roll pop approaches the speed of light, the distance to the center decreases.

Edison: It took my assistants several thousand attempts, but I finally got the answer: 514.

Newton: The thickness of a pop remains constant unless the pop is acted upon by an external tongue.

Yoda: Licks. Ha! The center. Ha! A Jedi craves not these things.

Douglas Adams: If you don’t already know, it’s 42. So there.

John Paul Jones: It has not yet begun to be licked!

P. G. Wodehouse: To find a man’s true character, lick tootsie roll pops with him.

Nathan Hale: I regret that I have but one lick to give to my country.

Mr. Owl: Let’s find out. One, Two, Three, *crunch* … Three.

C:

 while( DistanceToCenter != 0 ) 

  { 
    DistanceToCenter = lick( TootsieRollPop ); 
    LickNumber++; 
  } 
 printf(“It took me %d number of licks to get to the center”, LickNumber);@@

Archimedes: By determining the density of the tootsie roll pop we can find out how many licks it will take.

Terry Pratchett: I’m not sure, but that does sound like a great idea for a book.

Michael Crichton: My next book is going to be about people contemplating the ecological ramifications of tootsie roll pops while fighting space demons.

Steve Jobs: And one more lick…

Groucho Marx: A child of five could tell you how many. Someone fetch a child of five.

Bill Gates: The latest version of Windows will include auto-lick software to eliminate the hassle of manually licking your tootsie roll pop.

Lao Tzu: The journey of a thousand pops begins with a single lick.

Bill Clinton: It depends on what you meant by “does”.

Shrodinger: The pop remains both licked and unlicked until you unwrap it and the waveform collapses.

Visual Basic:

 Private Sub imgTootsieRollPop_Lick()

  imgTootsieRollPop.width = imgTootsieRollPop.width – SalivaAmount 
  imgTootsieRollPop.height = imgTootsieRollPop.height – SalivaAmount 
  lblTootsieCounter = lblTootsieCounter + 1

 End Sub
