The first door will only be flipped once, by the first person. The fourth door will be flipped by the first, second, and fourth people (three times). The ninth door will be flipped by the first, third, and ninth people (three times). The si

It helps to have something like HTTP Switchboard[1] installed on your browser, with per-domain rules. When I click the result, I get a white page since HTTPSB blocks the CSS/JS/cookies etc by default on domains that I haven't

Right, and for what reason would the flow atop the wing be faster than below? The equal-time assumption is what leads to the idea that flow on top is faster (and therefore, pressure is lower).
