A train leaves a station and travels north at 50km/hr. Three hours later, a second train leaves on a parallel track and travels north at 90km/hr.
How far from the station will they meet?
(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Thu 5 Jan 2012, 15:59, Reply)

337.5 km from the station

Correct.

I hope you know I don't know the answer to that, and although there may be a logical way to examine the question and come up with an answer
I've no clue how to even begin to find it

In 3 hours, the 1st train is 150 km away (50*3)
The 2nd train gains on it at 40 kph (90 - 50)

To overtake it will take 3.75 hours (150/40)
3.75 hr * 90 km/hr = 337.5 km from the station

If it takes 2 men an hour to dig a hole
How long will it take one man to dig half a hole?
(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Thu 5 Jan 2012, 16:07, Reply)

I suppose it depends on each mans idea of a hole.
Because the two men could say a hole has to be three feet deep, while the one man thinks it should be 4.

either way I don't care.
( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 5 Jan 2012, 16:09, Reply)

You can't dig half a hole
is the answer to that.
(PsychoChomp, Thu 5 Jan 2012, 16:12, Reply)

You can't dig a half a hole!

And no stops. Or points failures. Or accidents.
