You know what should be a crime? The amount car rental companies tack onto your base rate in fees and surcharges. Our two week compact car rental in September has a base rate of of $224.20 ($112.10 per week), which is a very reasonable rate, in my opinion. What sends me over the edge is that they are tacking on an additional $140.43 in fees. That's more than the weekly rental rate! I realize that there's no escaping the taxes, but a $51.00 "facility usage fee"? And what the heck is "apt conc recov fee"? I won't even bore you with the rest. It's a crime, I tell you. A crime!

Your Question:
in miles per hour what is the speed of thought?

Ignoring the fact that it's not measured in MPH, according to this article, it is approximately 300 milliseconds.

That's how long it took a volunteer to begin to understand a pictured object. Add to that another 250 to 450 milliseconds to fully comprehend what it was. Total speed of thought: between 550 and 750 milliseconds.
