Train A, traveling 70 miles per hour, carrying a cargo of bicycle helmets, leaves Athol, Massachusetts heading toward Belchertown, Massachusetts, 260 miles away. At the same time Train B, traveling 60 mph, carrying a cargo of bottled water, colored inks, circuit boards, tombstones, and fluorescent yellow paint, leaves Belchertown heading toward Athol. When do the two trains meet? How far from each city do they meet? And when they do “meet” (in a combined 130 mph head-on collision), what will the wreckage look like?
If you answered: 2 hours, 140 miles from Athol, 120 miles from Belchertown, and the new line of HardnutZ Helmets, then you were correct on all counts.
HardnutZ is a new line of helmets, coming to us from the UK. While their helmets meet all European safety standards, the folks at Hardnutz haven’t forgotten about STYLE; they want you stand out in a crowd. And you will do just that if you don something like the above-pictured “Tuity Fruity.” Of course, in my neighborhood, the crowd would notice you, subsequently turn on you, then put you in a bag and beat you with pipes.
Photos of the rest of the line and some specs after the break.

“Tuity Fruity …. this fantastic ‘fractal’ computer generated image was always high up on our design lists but we weren’t sure if we could get the detail required. The results speak for themselves.”

“Circuitboard..we’re not electronics geeks, we just loved the image and the abstract macro pattern. Oh, and the colour!”
“Blue Rain..the very first design we had sampled. Its a high resolution photograph of raindrops on a car windscreen.”
“Ink in Water..this pretty design is a high resolution photo. The effect is created by dropping coloured ink into a clear liquid to create the “smoke effect”.”
“Rock Hard..on the theme of HardnutZ this granite design is spot on. Its another high-resolution photo on a PC shell and it looks … ROCK HARD!”
