If a man[00:00:15]

A[00:00:15]

Who weighs 11 stone[00:00:16]

Leaves from his home at 830 in the morning[00:00:17]

In a car whose consumption is 16[00:00:20]

25 mpg[00:00:23]

At an average speed of 40 m[00:00:25]

P[00:00:26]

H[00:00:27]

To his office which is 12 miles away[00:00:27]

And he stops for a coffee on the way for 15 minutes[00:00:30]

And also puts air in one of his tyres[00:00:33]

Which has a slow puncture[00:00:36]

Letting out air at a rate of 2 lbs per square inch[00:00:38]

Per mile travelled[00:00:42]

When the car is moving at 32 m[00:00:43]

P[00:00:45]

H[00:00:46]

And he picks up a hitch hiker B[00:00:46]

Who weighs 14 stone plus suitcase[00:00:48]

But hitch hiker B who is a political activist[00:00:51]

Distributes leaflets from his suitcase[00:00:54]

Each of which weigh an ounce[00:00:57]

At the scale of 2 leaflets per person[00:00:59]

At every bus stop[00:01:02]

And every vehicle on either side of them[00:01:03]

At every red traffic light during the journey[00:01:05]

Which includes 20 bus stops[00:01:08]

With an average of 6 people per stop[00:01:09]

5 lorries each with a passenger[00:01:12]

One of which exchanged a Yorkie Bar[00:01:14]

Weighing an ounce for 12 of the leaflets[00:01:16]

And 2 coaches each containing 51 people[00:01:18]

7 of which from one coach returned the leaflets[00:01:22]

And 16 people from the other coach[00:01:25]

Who asked for a further leaflet[00:01:27]

Each for a member of one of their families[00:01:29]

Assuming that man A[00:01:33]

Then had to travel a further 2[00:01:36]

86 miles[00:01:37]

Out of his way to drop off hitch hiker B[00:01:38]

How late would man A be[00:01:42]

In arriving at the office by 930 a[00:01:44]

M[00:01:45]

If he still had 6 miles to travel[00:01:46]

And his watch was running 23 minutes slow[00:01:48]

But the clock at the office was running[00:01:51]

2 minutes faster than his[00:01:53]

Was in fact 17 minutes and 3 secs ahead[00:01:55]

Of the correct time[00:01:59]

Which was 230 in the morning in Caracas[00:02:00]

If when 5 miles from the office[00:02:05]

He telephoned his boss[00:02:08]

To apologize for being late[00:02:09]

But was told by his boss C[00:02:11]

To pick up a package 2[00:02:13]

63 miles away[00:02:15]

From his present location[00:02:16]

And deliver it to client D in Bristol by train[00:02:18]

By 430 that afternoon[00:02:21]

And at the same time man D[00:02:23]

Was mistakenly told to come to London[00:02:25]

To receive same package from man A[00:02:27]

Now man A's train[00:02:30]

Train 1[00:02:31]

Left 30 mins[00:02:32]

Late[00:02:33]

But man D's train[00:02:34]

Train 2[00:02:36]

Left 5 mins early[00:02:37]

So when the trains passed each other[00:02:38]

Train 1 was travelling at 75 m[00:02:41]

P[00:02:43]

H[00:02:44]

To make up for lost time[00:02:44]

And train 2 was travelling at 52 m[00:02:46]

P[00:02:49]

H[00:02:50]

Would man A reach Bristol earlier or later[00:02:52]

According to his watch[00:02:54]

Which was now running 5 mins[00:02:55]

Slower[00:02:57]

Than man D's would have been[00:02:57]

Had he not got off the train[00:02:59]

And checked the correct time[00:03:01]

At a station between Bristol and London[00:03:03]

And stopped to phone A's boss[00:03:07]

Man C[00:03:09]

To double check A would be there to meet him[00:03:09]

And discover his mistake[00:03:12]

Catch next train[00:03:14]

Train 3[00:03:15]

Back to Bristol[00:03:15]

Which unlike A's train 1[00:03:16]

Which stopped at 4 stations on the way[00:03:18]

For 6 mins each stop[00:03:21]

Was an express train[00:03:22]

D's train caught up with A's train 1[00:03:25]

4 miles from Bristol[00:03:28]

As the trains drew alongside each other[00:03:29]

A's train was travelling at 12 m[00:03:32]

P[00:03:34]

H[00:03:34]

And D's train was travelling at 13[00:03:35]

6 m[00:03:38]

P[00:03:38]

H[00:03:38]

And man A was sat in the front[00:03:39]

How long would it take to fill the bath[00:03:42]
