Traveling train puzzle
1. Traveling train puzzle
2. Traveling trains
The train problem (source unknown) goes as follows.
There are two trains. One train leaves New York at 120 miles per hour bound nonstop for Los Angeles by the most direct route. The other leaves Los Angeles at 80 miles per hour bound nonstop for New York by the most direct route.
3. Traveling trains
When the trains meet, which train will be closer to Chicago?
Arrive at an answer before continuing (and before the trains collide).
There are many possible answers for this question.
It is not the answer that is important, but how you arrived at your answer that is important.
So, do not discuss this problem with anyone until you have worked out in your mind your answer.
In general, your first impression is the important one, so try not to second-guess yourself.
