Nov 28	comment	Ice cream cone and loop-de-loop Someone told me in order to "solve" this problem I to integrate the conservation of energy formula, but this would give me an elliptic integral. Though I had some problem setting this up
Nov 28	comment	Ice cream cone and loop-de-loop David Zaslavsky thats the plan, jerking the icecreamcone backwards at the exact correct velocity. Sorry for my bad english, someone might want to edit, if they feel like it =) ofcourse the make the problem even more unrealistic, we ignore friction and consider the boy as a dot particle. And loops in rollercoasters are not perfect circles, and so on ^^
