Hey guys, today the physics prof. asked us this question and I have no idea how to answer it.
>If the UK switched from driving on the left to driving on the right, would a day be longer or shorter in the UK?
We don't have to calculate anything, we just have to answer longer or slower with a brief explanation.
Tell him that the two events aren't related.
It would obviously get shorter
All these people bitching about the change will be amusing enough to shorten my days for a good while
Is that "or" inclusive or exclusive
the contents of this post to be entirely frank brothers

This, the answer is "no". He is asking if the day would have another length if you swapped sides.
The clockwise parts of ring roads just got longer and anticlockwise parts shorter.
Therefore something
You might be onto something.
The day would get shorter, the northern hemisphere is currently transitioning towards a winter solstice meaning days are getting shorter for the UK.
