You have two pipes which produce sound: one is open at both ends

Ralph recently saw this bumper-sticker on a professor's car:
"If this sticker is blue,
you're driving too fast!" (True story: a professor at my previous
university had the sticker on her car.) The sticker looks RED to him. He is confused. Can
you explain the joke to Ralph? (Note: Light undergoes a Doppler effect similar
to sound, although the precise equation is slightly different than the one for
sound given in the textbook. Also, you need to know that red light and blue
light both travel at c = 3´108 m/s, but red light has a longer wavelength than blue.)
The comments in the next next two boxes go into a big, mostly anonymous text file that I skim through before the morning lecture, using the comments to help me plan class discussion. ("Mostly anonymous", because I can track down who made what comment, but it takes some effort on my part to do so.) Therefore, if you really want to make sure I see your question/comment and answer it individually, you should send it to me via email and not through this form.
Which part of today's assignment was particularly hard or confusing? What
would you like to spend extra time on in class?
