ok brainiacs...

assume 2 people, each having a weight tied to the end of a length of rope, swing the rope from above their heads as fast as they can, then let it slow under its own momentum. if one weight is twice as heavy as the other, which will be the last to stop...the heavy or the light one?

i'd have said the heavy one would stay rotating the longest(thinking along the lines of a car's flywheel) but i'm assured by others the heavy one would slow and stop the quickest.
