What is the strategy of behavior in the rain to choose?

One day, when you without an umbrella and raincoat, rain suddenly finds highly relevant to you will be the question of what to do, so not much to get wet? What is the optimal speed in the rain? Is it better to go quietly or quickly escape, steeping himself the entire facade? The authors of this video have tried to answer this question in a straightforward manner.
The answer is actually simple. During the movement you are moving from suspended under a falling rain drops beneath another. That is, the total amount of precipitation falling from above does not depend on the speed of your movement.
To understand this, imagine that raindrops permanently hung in the air, and you together with the land to move towards these drops. And since the volume is equal to the area of the base parallelelepipeda parallelepiped multiplied by its height, it does not matter how fast you move, the same number of drops falling on your head you in the rain give me a sec.
If you do not move, then all you get is rain falling on top of you, but if you start to move, an additional collecting raindrops side facade. Thus, in every single second driest you, if you remain stationary. The faster you run, the faster will get wet.
But if you need to get from point A to point B, then stand - not an option. The total amount of water that you collect on the way to point B does not depend on the speed at which you walk. For example, the snowblower collect the same amount of snow on a certain stretch of road and this amount will not depend on the speed of the machine.
When you choose the tactics of "running in the rain", again imagine a box. As you can see, regardless of the speed you will get the same amount of precipitation falling on you above and regardless of the speed at a given interval, you will get the same amount of precipitation side. Thus, the overall degree of humidity to the product getting wet = per second on the time spent in the rain + moisture per meter multiplied by the distance traveled.
Summary
, You should try to minimize the amount of water falling on you from above, and run as fast as you can to stay minimally wet, driving in the rain from one point to another.
Run, Forrest! Run!
