Brain Teasers - dudette - 05-01-2005 I see my calculation was wrong anyway ... I was confusing distance and speed ... :duh: Sorry but it I still can't work it out though ... I think we need to know at what point Will slowed down to 2 mph, and then it will be answerable Brain Teasers - TheDuck - 05-01-2005 OK .. 3 miles per hour = 20 minutes for 1 mile in 1Hr they covered 3 miles .. yes returning 3 miles at 2miles per hour .. 2 miles per hour = 30 minutes per mile 3 miles = 1Hr 30 in total 2Hr 30 minutes for 6 miles 150 minutes in total divide by 6 = 2.5 well .. that is what I thought ... Brain Teasers - Jangar - 05-01-2005 1 hour at 3 m.p.h. + 1 hour at 2 m.p.h. going out, 2 hours returning at 2 m.p.h. = 9 miles traveled in 4 hours... Brain Teasers - TheDuck - 05-01-2005 so that is 3 miles plus 2 miles = 5 miles 3miles in 1 Hr = 20 minutes per mile 2 miles in 1Hr = 30 minutes per mile 5 miles at 2 miles per hour = 2hr 30 4hr 30 = 270 divide by 10 2.7 is what Dudette got or have I got the wrong clutch of the leek Brain Teasers - Jangar - 05-01-2005 Jangar Wrote:1 hour at 3 m.p.h. + 1 hour at 2 m.p.h. going out, 2 hours returning at 2 m.p.h. = 9 miles traveled in 4 hours... Which gives me 2.333 :duh: :rofl: Will travelled 5 miles out... first hour at 3 m.p.h. and the last at 2 m.p.h but returned the whole distance at 2 m.p.h. !!!! ***Thinks aloud*** So 5 miles in 2 hours going out + 5 miles going back at 2 m.p.h. .... the latter taking 2.5 hours... So he covered 10 miles in 4½ hours giving us an answer of..... 2.2222.... Brain Teasers - TheDuck - 05-01-2005 4hrs = 240 minutes 30 minutes added = 270 miniutes 27 minutes per mile what does that equate to per hour Brain Teasers - dudette - 06-01-2005 Jangar Wrote:1 hour at 3 m.p.h. + 1 hour at 2 m.p.h. going out, 2 hours returning at 2 m.p.h. = 9 miles traveled in 4 hours... But how do you know that he walked the full hour at 2 mph? Brain Teasers - Jangar - 07-01-2005 dudette Wrote:But how do you know that he walked the full hour at 2 mph? I don't... :haha: A question about some motel furniture is coiled in the grid below. To spell it out, start with one letter and move to an adjacent letter in any direction. (Hint: Start with an “H.” One null.) Code: A R E O D S Brain Teasers - Ameniatha - 07-01-2005 the question will strart with "how" if one can move digonally also then there is a sentence which reads: how may a guest cover a sofa... Brain Teasers - dudette - 07-01-2005 Jangar Wrote:I don't... :haha: Are you sure you put the code down correctly? Because to my reckoning, if I juggle some letters around I get "How many nugs does it take to cover a sofa" Not common language, I know, but I'm sure it will make sense to someone! :rofl: |
