Wednesday non-political thread - Brainteaser

[Mike Honcho 4,009]

You are very right, I have been slacking---had to burn some vacation time so I've been sleeping in and doing lots of nothing, but clearly there is no vacation from this place, so:

On Monday Little Johnny leaves his house at 8:00 AM and walks to school at a rate of 95 meters per minute and arrives at school 1 minute late.

On Tuesday Little Johnny leaves his house at 8:00 AM, walks to school at a rate of 105 meters per minute and arrives at school 1 minute early. 

On Wednesday, Little Johnny leaves his house at 8:00 AM and arrives at school exactly on time.   

Two part question - What times does school start and what speed did Little Johnny walk on Wednesday to arrive exactly on time?  Answer correctly and you get to ask the next question.

Both answers need to be exactly correct---so I can not pass this answer.

FFS---no metrics....friggin US centric educations.   Next time I do a brainteaser I'll make sure it's on a subject that Americans know about...like donuts or shaggin Moms.  

[JustinCharge 2,397]

There is no such thing as meters per minute.

The meter is the base unit of measuring distance in the metric system. Examples of scaling up and down in the metric system are kilometer, millimeter, centimeter, etc.  The second is the base unit of measuring time in the metric system.  Example of scaling up and down in the metric system of time is kilosecond, millisecond, etc.  The metric system of time does not include the "minute" (or the hour, day, etc).

The correct wording would be "meters per 60 seconds" or "3.28084 feet per minute".  Saying "meters per minute" is only something an uneducated troglodyte would say.

close

I am getting 8:20 and 99.75 meters per min

the school is 1995 meters away which is the 1st factor that 95/105 share

that gets you there at 821 and 819 respectively

1995/20 mins = 99.75

School starts at 8:20am and he walked 100 meters per minute to get there on time.

I was close enough for the girls we go out with motherfocker!    

[Thornton Melon 542]

I see I was an hour late, but I got it:

x = minutes

95(x+1) = 105(x-1)

95X +95 = 105X -105

200 = 10x

X=20 min. School starts at 8:20

95 m/min x 21 min = 1995m, or 105m/min x 19m = 1995m

1995m/20min = 19.75 m/min

I showed all my work. I win

I didn’t even do it that way. I multiplied 105x95 and divided it by 4. When that wasn’t a whole number I divided by 5 and saw the number was 1995. I then divided it by 105 and got 19. 1995 by 95 was 21
