What item is regularly made at a 115 degree angle?

ing	I want to say a golf club, but so far I've only found ranges of up to about 60 degrees. Could make for an interesting shot, anyway! Also comes into ergonomic furniture and other chairs, ie angle between seat and back. Oct 20 05, 9:57 PM

i found this question at a site proclaiming to have 'THE IMPOSSIBLE TRIVIA QUESTION HALL OF FAME - "Often asked but never answered."' the onle thing that immediately springs to mind is a spatula (with the flat surface attached at the 115 degree angle in relation to the shaft) Oct 21 05, 11:42 PM

ing	Um, not all footballs are spherical, most are kinda ovoid. And it could be the angles of the individual pieces that make up a football (or soccer ball), volleyball, netball etc. Somehow I don't think so, but then something tells me peasy knows more...! Oct 22 05, 1:08 AM

....peasy does know more, yes. Peasy found an obscure US game show site that asked this exact question as its "Impossible Question" of the day, yesterday. The answer was posted today as a 'football'. ;) Oct 22 05, 6:25 AM

American football or soccer ball? Oct 22 05, 1:00 PM

ing	Yeah Peasy, wasn't there any more information? And by the way, MBL, it could also be a Rugby (League or Union) or Australian Rules football - all are roughly the same shape as a gridiron ball. Oct 23 05, 2:08 AM

What is a gridiron ball? Here in the US we have American football, the ball looks like a fat uncurved banana, and soccer which is your football. Oct 23 05, 9:40 AM

US football, AKA gridiron. Perhaps it's only known as that outside the US...I believe the name comes from the lines on the field. I'm in Australia, by the way, where we're somewhere in between the US and the UK in a lot of things - soccer is more commonly called 'soccer' than 'football', but you get a bit of both. 'Football' usually means one or other of the kinds I listed, all of which have balls shaped like the squashed egg-type used in American football. They're just different sizes/weights/materials. Hope that's not just made you more confused MBL! Oct 23 05, 12:09 PM

In very long-range artillery the guns are often set at an elevation angle of 50 to 70 degrees, instead of the 45 degree angle which, according to elementary mechanics, is supposed to guarantee the maximum range. Why? On what Walt Disney World attraction do guests plummet 52 feet at a 45 degree angle going up to 40 miles per hour? Okay...here's a challenge. In what way would the gravity on earth be effected if the earth were not on a 23.5 degree angle on the elliptical path (like it was prior to the Big Whack billions of years ago that eventually formed our moon)? Which was the first American college or university to award a degree to a woman, who was the graduate and when was the award made?
