Also, air resistance was acting on the baby immediately after it left the hands accelerating it. So was she reporting peak speed or the speed several feet away as shown in the frame of the comic. Additionally, she could have easily avoided this ambiguity if she stated the hypothetical speed of the baby being as if it was thrown in a vacuum, but she didn’t do that either. Its just pure laziness really.
also, reaction time for the average human is around 300ms, and, since you can only measure speed after looking at it for at least a little bit, which makes this even more undefined: is that the speed where she started perceiving the throw, the time she completed the calculation or the time she finished spelling it out?

Assuming the baby is a spherical point mass in a vacuum is so 101.
That’s a new kind of math, definitely not 101.
Sphere with radius zero. Problem solved 🤣
