Can Indiana Jones escape from the Egyptian pyramids before he is caught by The Mummy? Perhaps Pythagoras’ Theorem could help him work out the dimensions.
Which is faster? An arrow shot from the bow of Robin Hood or Harry Potter on his broomstick? It probably has something to do with wind resistance.
Can Jack Sparrow from The Pirates of the Caribbean beat Darth Vadar from Star Wars in a sword fight? If only he could work out how a laser works.
Who flies higher? Buzz Light year from Toy Story or Superman? Perhaps a special jet pack could help Buzz go faster.
