Consider the experiment of Problem 15.8 from the point of view of the pions' rest frame. What is the half-life of the pions in this frame? In part (b), how long is the pipe as "seen" by the pions and how long does it take to pass the pions? How many pions remain at the end of this time? Compare with the answer to Problem 15.8 and describe how the two different arguments led to the same result.
