  • this video dosent count

  • this is fucking stupid

  • Arc length isn't a trivial thing to measure...

  • Suit and tie do not make an expert! LOL! Woe be to the schools he attended...his grade school teachers must be in anguish! Jack

  • Gee, that guy couldn't figure out that on a scale of 1"=20' then 1/16" equals 2'.

    What a dumbass!!!

  • is the person asking the questions a judge or the opposing council???

    Tom Cruise was breaking into the NSA headquarters in Mission Impossible 1 to steal this man formula sheets. Can you imagine how much raw knowledge are on those formula sheets.

    

  • He was of by 5 feet--there was NO point in badgering the witness, none.

  • @ednacarroll9 It destroys his credibility as an expert witness and makes his evidence inadmissible. There could be other errors that aren't evident in this video as well.

  • 3-3/16" on 1 to 20 scale would be

    (3+3/16)*20

    that's 63.75" or 5' 9 3/4"

  • Sounds JUST like a squidbilly

  • I am physically ill......

  • (3+3/16)*x=68*12

    the judge is just as retarded as the witness

  • @edfchv2 the judge said (3+3/16)*20 = x = 60 + 60/16 = 63 + 12/16 = 63.75...

    You're just as retarded as the witness, congratulations.

  • I don't want to live on this planet any more.

  • I think he might have misunderstood the question and tried to calculate the length of the red arc. He just did a really bad job of saving face towards the end. Or else he's just a dumbass.

  • I hope he's moved since this video.....

  • I hope he has moved since then.... -_-

  • 63.75' ...and all without my formula sheets.

  • BITCH SLAPPED,, FUCK THIS PIECE OF SHIT, ricocheting eyes lying out his ass piece of shit!!!

  • Ouch.

    Just OUCH.

  • As a Missourian, I am embarrassed.

  • he's from missouri! Isn't that all that really needs to be said here?

  • HA HA HA HA LOLROF and shit myself. If I ever get into an accident and this kind of crap comes up I'm going to have my lawyer challenge it. If this tape gets entered as evidence the jury will know that the defense is trying to pull a fast one. Wahat dumb ass defense lawyer to even try to use this moron and insurance CO. beware now I know.

  • He should admit "fault" in not knowing how to do it off the top of his head. This would give him more credibility. If he knew how to write it out...and if he really knew how to do it...then he should have offered to show them in basic terms.

  • Jews cannot into math.

  • Sorry if I'm being dumb, but who cares if he doesn't know how to calculate it by hand? It's a simple calculation, yes, but if he's using computer software to do all the calculations for him, and it's correct then who cares?

  • @Laucheehung Except he came in with a wrong calculation in the first place. On a 20:1 scale, it's 63 feet 9 inches, not 68. That, and he tried to bring "kinetic energy" into a bloody geometry problem.

  • A real expert could do it on a white board in court and explain where the formulas came from. I watched a real expert do just that. The prosicuter did not want him to. The guy was just a dumb cop.

  • Comment removed

  • Convert to decimal and multiply. Of course if I drew up the diagram I would actually know my scale to begin with and mark it on the diagram. The worst part of this is when I showed this video to my 10 year old, she had the decimal for 3/16 within 30 seconds and the scale less than a minute later. She then said, "This guy is an idiot." Out of the mouths of babes...

  • seems like a win imo, he dodged the bullet.

    btw, cross multiply and divide.

    10 x 16 1 x 3 = 30/16 = 1.875

  • @traebarlow

    wtf youtube mangled my algebra, (10x3) /( 16 x 1)

  • i wish this would happen every time they called up a EXPERT !! 

  • ..who's defense:).?

  • This man uses square roots and Kinetic energy to convert a fraction to a decimal?

  • Comment removed

  • Ah 3 / 16 = 0.1875 

  • I've got a formula sheet for this blowhard....he couldn't figure his way out of a paper bag....my German Shepherd is smarter than this brainless weasel...lol

  • lol he wasn't able to solve this using a calculator because he doesn't know how to convert a fraction to a decimal. This bozo probably uses his formula sheets" to convert 1/16th of an inch to feet.

  • lol....duh, i am NOT smarter than a 5th grader

  • Expert Witness? WTF are you kidding me? an 11 yo can do this... This is what's wrong with this fucking country, it's full of IDIOTS! god damned idiots! This is why we have to import doctors and professionals, Education has been LOOTED!

    And we have Corporate Criminals Looting everything in sight and Americans are too stupid to notice they are getting screwed in the ass!

    I can NOT believe this guy! wow!

  • OMG what an idiot.

  • It all depends on the scale...depending on whether its 120/1 or 240/1 or whatever...typically, engineers use the metric system. In the U.S., we have to be different.

  • All of you math nerds, shut the fuck up i dont wanna hear about how YOU would solve the problem.

  • if the formula came out of yo mamas pussyhole and it had the same last name "Weinberg", then would you recognise it as your biological brother?

  • Someone tipped off the lawyer that this guy is a simpleton. I have given expert witness testimony in several trials. You never go to deposition or trial unless you have a clue. This poor sucker is in trouble. Do they have the rest of the deposition somewhere.

  • omg!

  • oh dear...

  • Is this guy saying he can't make 3/16ths a decimal value? Holy shit, and his job is basically physics!

  • I am sorry to say you are all wrong. 63.75 is in inches. Convert that to feet you get 5.31 feet . The answer is 5.31 ft. Not 68 feet, not 63.75 feet.

  • @yavuzkangal

    one inch equals one foot, with the scale being 20:1, so the answer is 63.75 feet or 63 feet 9 inches, or 765 inches.

    If you look at the diagram the questioning attorney displays, he is pointing to an distance from the L/H stop line to a line near the crosswalk to the left. There is no way that could be a 5 foot distance.

    Are you the president, or an accident reconstruction engineer yourself?

  • Intelligent jewish man.

  • This is tragic and funny at the same time. I guess it's called tragic comedy.

  • ***when I typed "throught" I meant to type through out..sorry typo..LUV<3 tat video---so funny!!!

  • It was so funny watching what went through his head when he couldn't divide using a calculator. The lawyer is excellent and I think he did a great job in questioning the guy. Great job!! I love to see that dumb look on the "experts" face. What a moron? I dont know about you, but as smart as he tried to make himself appear throught the whole video only made him look more stupid when he couldn't awnser a decimal conversion. Isn't that something you learn in 5th grade without a "formula sheet"? hah

  • nice vib

  • 3/16 means 3 divided by 16which equals .1875 and 3.1875 x 20 = 63.75 This guy is a friggin' dumbass

  • The answer is not 68 feet I hope you all know that. Or is could be that it is correct and the ratio is not 20/1 but 21.222 to one.

    most people today are plug and chug type people. Rarely do they know how the formula is derived. Does the check out clerk really know how the cash register works? Yet they are often quite good at what they do.

    I was a physics major and I will tell you that most of the people that are DRs, etc do not know how any of the formulas are derived they just plug n chug.

  • This guy is not a good expert. A good expert would have his computer and formula sheets. I hope he was not paid big bucks.

  • my question is why doesn't he have them with him if he is going to insist on having them in front of him.

  • The whole American Justice system is run like this. I deal with a Judge that reminds me of this guy.

  • "not without my formula sheets"

    lol

  • dont you just divide one into the other to see what one inch on paper equals into feet on the road?

  • Such lack of intellectual curiosity is what is destroying this fucking planet. He should WANT to know how all this shit works, not be forced to...

  • Wouldn't it be more cost-effective to hire a grade-schooler to do such math problems? They'd probably work for sneakers and peanuts - how much do they pay this "expert"?

    And insurance companies deserve to be taken seriously?

    Most people who profit from the insurance industry, starting from the top-down, deserve to go to jail for fraud.

  • it he lying when he does the "sudden mouth shut"? i dont know what isit called :/

  • so if he had to double check his "formulas" he wouldn't be able to do it using basic methods...amazing...the evils of calculators

  • An expert is someone who takes a subject you understand and makes it sound confusing

  • no he isn't. he is just stupid. i mean a person working on this kind of job shpuld be a able to do solve it.

  • i really don't get the point here because clearly that piece of paper is not a 1:20 scale so regardless of whether he knows how to divide 3/16 (.1875) and even multiply the total by 20, the answer will not be right since it's NOT 1:20

  • Well, the point is, this guy who wants to testify about sophisticated physics problems doesn't know how to do a 5th grade problem (8th grade was really generous). The lawyer is just amazed the guy can't calculate the scale. I think he's just trying to figure out what exactly the guy's problem is.

    It might also be that that is the entire problem--obviously 3 3/16 x 20 != 68 feet, so where the hell did the guy get 68 feet?! And why is it approximate?!

  • I belive the witness is doing a great job at answering the question, in a deposition, when you answer a question no matter if it seems detrimental to your testimony, you shouldn't worry as long as you give an ambigous answer,"you will have plenty of time to explain your response at trial.

  • STRAWTEEGERI

  • Comment removed

  • I bet you had your formula sheets, cheater

  • The thing is....Anybody who has taken first year college physics, for example, would know ALL TOO WELL, how it's one thing to have an equation from a physical law, and QUITE ANOTHER to apply that to a real world situation.

    If this guy can't do a simple "scaling" problem without assistance of his "formulas," then how he APPLIES his accident reconstruction formulas is.....very questionable.

  • Calculators are instruments of the devil..lazy teachers stopped teaching slide rulers so Americans stopped learning math!

    It was corporate electronics conspiracy!

  • It's worrying how incapable people have become at basic calculation and mental arithmetic due to their dependance on computers and calculators.

    Most shop assistants can't even add or subtract these days. Also hardly anyone seems able to spell or use correct grammar nowadays thanks to 'text speak' .Talk about devolution!

    It's really quite alarming.

  • shit video...response to the shithead who posted it......

  • Same old story -Some corrupt laywer trying to discrediit a witness to get his client off on a technicality .

  • Holy fvck....3/16 = 0.1875. Tell this guy to put a sock in it!!!!

  • lol

  • now i have an answer for ma parents when they ask: y did u fail ur math test... and ma answer is: cuz I DONT HAVE MY FORMULA SHEETSSSSS

  • "laughing out loud", square ruut

  • i was going to comment on how stupid this guy is but i dont have my formula sheets in front of me right now

  • It's time to switch to the metric system, it's easier to learn and comprehend, than it might be less possible to fool people who cannot calculate (like some hick jury) with incompetent gibberish about "formula sheets".

    The lengths in scale like 1:20 would be obvious to everybody.

  • Comment removed

  • Talkin' about sheepness: welcome to...The Office! Notice the guy's heavy breathing and the panic on his face after he realises that he ain't gonna pull off his "pretend to know how to divide 3 by 16 on this calculator routine". And to think this guy is president of some company...then again, if someone like b-movie actor Ronald Reagan is able to become president of the USA...

  • first thought this would be boring, but this had me laughing really alot of truth to this we all have our own formula sheets, for sake of accuracy, not gonna guess at anything, GIMME the formula... not without the formula sheet, I left it in the john, ohyeah

  • know one is asking you to guess anything! WHAT THE FXCK IS 3 DIVIDED INTO 16 YOU SON OF A BIATCH!!! WHAT IS IT GDI!!! WHAT IS IT!!! long live ignorance

  • Damn formula sheets! I always forget those at home!

  • for the sake of accuracy, I can not and I repeat I can not recall how I did come up with the results, Because my dog ate my formula sheets last night. ha ha lol

  • is he asking the distance of the arc or the distance from a to b?

  • There is no need to use arcs, pi, roots or any real algebra.

    3/16=0.1875

    0.1875+3=3.1875

    That is the exact distance from point to point in inches, as drawn on the paper.

    The scale says 1 inch = 20 feet.

    3.1875(20)= 63.75

    Regardless of what the arc is, he is asking for the point on the arc to where the line intercepts the vertical line. If this was 3 and 3/16 inches, it converts to 63.75 feet, which in no plausible way approximates to 68 feet.

  • THANK YOU...

  • Expert may have made a reasonable mistake, 3/8 of 1 inch does = 7.5 feet (he said approx 8 ft). May have mis-spoke when he said 3 and 3/16 instead of 3 and 3/8 Once he tried to make 3 and 3/16 = 68ft on the calculator, most likely was frazzled.

  • I don't know what is more pathetic, this guy or the people defending his inability to divide 16 by 3.

  • it's actually dividing 3 by 16.

  • True. :)

  • The suit obviously does not make the man.

    LOL. LONG LIVE IGNORANCE...

  • This guy needs a TRAPPER KEEPER.

    LOL. Long Live Ignorance...

  • "I've been trained in the use of mathematical application and formula, I did not create them" hell

  • formula sheets formula sheets formula sheets formula sheets formula sheets...

  • i can has formula sheets pls?

  • He can't type 3/16 into a calculator.

    That is embarrassing.

  • im sure he can.....he was refusing to do it....without technically refusing.....noob.....how embarassing for joo mang

    much love for the 1 love

    <3

  • Prove he can do it!

    :P

  • trying to impeach his ass-contradiction

  • It's an ARC!! -- if its a perfect circle, the expert needs to calculate pi at 3.14159 into the equation too. If it's elliptical, he needs a different number. It's NOT a simple scale of 1:20. The attorney is an asshole. TRY?? so he can make a fool of him later in court when the number is off??

  • The distance around the arc is 3.1875"

    there is no need to introduce PI in order to calculate the actual distance according to scale.

  • Heh. 3.1875 * 20 = 63.75.

  • Cheater.

    I bet you had formula sheets hidden in your wristwatch or something.

  • The guy told you 68 feet at the start of the video.

  • he's basically asking him to multiply 20 times 3

  • I hate the way they both say "root".

    Also, this is so painful to watch.

  • Plenty of bad insurance decisions. But to claim plaintiff's lawyers are crusaders for anyone other than themselves is a joke. This is the reason why the Dems are firmly in the pocket of the plaintiffs'trial lawyers, to keep the gravy train running. Same people who routinely sue on behalf of thousands of uninjured peoplewhich is why they own baseball teams and run for pres. Plaintiffs' lawyers have run amuck. Until juries start imposing some sense, they will continue to cost us all money.

  • Relevance?

  • If you read the other comments all will become clear. Regards.

  • The relevance is the expert is not going to impeach his work product in a deposition. Make the Goddamn attorney do it himself. Tell him, "You want an answer to an arithmetic problem, you do it. You want an answer to what I'm doing reconstructing this accident, here it is." There are probably four different ways to do the calculation to get within the statistical error that is acceptable for this problem. BTW, none of this deposition will EVER be played for a jury -- that's why it's on youtube.

  • amen to that

  • Holy Sheet - OMG !! - Get me my instruments - get me my formula sheets! - you are killing me!

  • 3/16=.1875 how hard is that.

  • I wonder this: If he's so sure that he needs the "formula sheets" to calculate distances, then what did he tap on that calculator for a few seconds before claiming he needed them?

  • Dollars to DONUTS this idiot is an ex-cop.

  • I hate to admit it, but, when the video first started, I guessed he was a cop. Poor guy.

  • Jesus Christ..no wonder insurance rates go through the roof. Instead of just paying fair value for claims, they hire douchebags like this who knows how much money, then get ass hammered in front of a jury. Afterwards, they all bitch and moan about the evil "trial lawyers" and "renegade juries". Give me a fuckin' break.

  • YOu retard Just agree with the mother fucker

  • lol, I use instramentation that is beyond all comprehe....nsion. For I come form a nother dimension, and am on many fantastic recreational drugs.

  • who pays this retard to read from a spreadsheet?

  • May I be president next? I can "derive" a conversion formula. lol, Heck I added fractions togther just this evening, and I know it was done correctly, because teh hamburger helper came out perfectly. well, mostly perfectly...lol Of course there will always be some margin or error due to the square ruts, and kinetic energy....lol

  • like my math teacher always used to say, "show your work". what instrumentation does he use? a micrometer? autocad?

  • Maybe an abacus

  • 1 in : 20 ft

    1 in * 3.1875 : 20 ft * 3.1875

    3.1875 in : 63.75 ft

    His "sheets" that were apparently more accurate than a calculator got a value of 6.4 for 3/16. Not only is it sad that he can't trust a calculator, it's sad that this man's formula sheets are inaccurate themselves. He said he was not a mathematician. I agree.

  • That's just it. An assessment of sequence, based on distance and velocity probably determines that fate of large sums of money. This attorney has discovered the error, and knows the implications. But, in attempting to get this guy to admit to the fraud, has discovered the "expert" is none other than retardo-man, super hero to the insurance companies. The expert, has opted for the classic "dumber than shit" ploy rather than self incriminate for fraud. : )

  • I got the same thing. They should let that guy go and hire you and me. We'll each get paid one half of his salary, quadrupling my current income, and probably yours.

  • Awesome idea! :)

  • expert bullshitter

  • the silly bastard: (20*(3+3/16))12=x and with a calculator... lololol

  • You are close but back to remedial math class for you too.

  • (20*(3+3/16))/12=x

  • Wrong again!

  • nah thats right! x=5'4''

  • Nah, thats wrong again.

  • nah thats right again! x=5'4'' the scale !!AS STATED(1:20)!! dont argue unfounded assumption

  • The diagram was created by the witness, using a scale of 1 inch = 20 feet.

  • There is no need to convert inches to feet here, since 1 inch=20 feet. The conversion is built into the scaling itself.

  • You can't do it, can you?

    Classic.

  • So this idiot performance is what counts as "American expertise" ???? Huh! No wonder the country is going to the dogs!

    PS. I wonder if this guy believes in a six day creation... ??

  • elgillau - "lmfao! I am soooooo using the "for the sake of accuracy I am not (insert verb here) without my formula sheets" excuse!!!!!!!!!!" Dude, hilarious!

  • Wow! No child left behind must not be applied to this guy

  • You don't want this idiot getting in front of a jury because there's really nothing you can use to impeach him. You'd have to try to get his expert report and testimony thrown out beforehand.

    The best course of action is to ask for his formula sheets (which is a central part of his report) and move to redo his deposition because he failed to bring it.

  • Thanks for the commentary. It is nice to hear some good lawyer strategy.

  • I would really enjoy walking over to that guy and kicking him right out of his chair. What a moron.

  • 0.1875 !!!!!!!

  • this guy is saying with 100% confidence that a calculator is not ACCURATE.

    I WILL FINISH HIM IN COURT - GUARANTEED. I would bring a calculator in front of the jury and ask this FUCKING INCOMPETENT ASSHOLE if he can press the number "3". now press "the division sign" now can you punch "1" and then a "6". ok - almost there! now press the "=" sign and observe the FUCKING result.

    If I was a lawyer, I WOULD CHEW THIS FUCKER UP AND SPIT HIM OUT.

  • actually hes saying he doesnt know how.

  • thnk fuk u aint!!! lol

  • LISTEN TO THE MAN ASKING THE QUESTIONS you fucking maggot...he did NOT ask if you WILL do the calculation...he asked you if you CAN do the calculation...did this guy fail English in high school?

  • and he failed math.

  • i think i would finish this guy off in the courtroom and I am not a lawyer...all I have to do tell the jury this guy is INCOMPETENT and needs formula sheets to divide two numbers - already given to him - in a FUCKING CALCULATOR. WHY DID this asshole accept the calculator in the first place. WHY DID HE FUCK AROUND on the calculator? HA! the jury would conclude that he WILLINGLY touched the calculator and TRIED to punch in the numbers and he couldn't arrive to his so called "approximation".

  • SQUARE "RUT" and kinetic energy???? you need PHYSICS FORMULA SHEETS to divide 3/16? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME???, Deriving formulas, HOLY SHIT i punched in 3 FUCKING numbers in my calculator...

  • Shtooooped.

  • Gahahahaha

  • NOT WITHOUT MY FORMULA SHEETS HURRR

  • For crimany sakes Jim, I reconstruct accidents based on physics, I'm not a mathmetician, I need my formula's for such sorcery.

  • your comment made me laugh out loud. Outstanding wit! Thank you!

  • Even if the situation made him nervous, he should still have been able to press three buttons on a calculator. Expert, pfft.
