I hear these little brain teasers and can't help but think of Monty Python's Holy Grail: "What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?"

Yeah, I'm the guy who would ask "747-300 or 747-400?". Granted it could probably be figured out by taking the vector of the thrust to lift ratio of the engines and wings at take off, but something tells me you'd go through a lot of planes that way rather than designing it with that in mind.
