How long would it take for a barn swallow to fly from Puyallup Washington to Paris France if it was flying at 1/8 of it's top speed for the first 1/3rd of it's journey and 2/5ths of it's top speed the rest of the way? In Nanoseconds!

and you live in Germany? I'm impressed! You must have family in this area.

My Dreams are in Germany but my Body and Loyalty are in the good ol USA.
No family just a random place I know about...Something about horses I think.

It's a trick question. There are no barn swallows in Puyallup, those are Pigeons.

Top speed is roughly equal to 24.6 MPH.
Distance to France is approx. 5021 miles.
1/8th top speed = 3.07 MPH.
2/5th top speed = 9.84 MPH
First distance traveled at 1/8th top speed takes roughly 539.71 HOURS.
Secondary distance traveled at 2/5th top speed takes roughly 341.8 HOURS.
Total time is approx. is 881.51 HOURS or 36.7 days, or 3.173436 × 10^15 nanoseconds.
WTF do they eat in the air?
