So you tripped me up and I lost my chance at some ponits.........but it is a Monday and I am hungover, :drink: so I think it's excusable!!

At least I don't mysteriously answer questions that I didn't even read like some other squids, errrrrrr, I mean people !!!!!!

I'm pleading the Monday defense, as well! https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif

There may not be any corners in the ocean, but my office certainly has them! https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif

There are plenty of places to hide in an office..........LAN closets are on of my favorite!

But do you not agree that MindTrap questions should be devious? :p

I fully agree the questions should be devious...... :devil: ............I somehow got hung up on the instructions this time though, rather than the question!!!

The drive from Oakland to Pinewood was a tricky one. I covered the uphill distance of 70 miles at 35 miles per hour.

The return journey from Pinewood to Oakland was downhill, and I managed to drive at 63 miles per hour.

What was my average speed for the entire journey?



___________
Total distance = 2 x 70 miles.
Time for uphill journey (from Oakland to Pinewood) = 70 / 35 hours.
Time for downhill journey (from Pinewood to Oakland) = 70 / 63 hours.
Total time = (70 / 35) + (70 / 63) = 2 x 70 / 45 hours.
Average speed = Total distance / Total time = 45 miles per hour.

45 miles per hour

Time to travel to Pinewood = 2 hours (70 miles / 35 mi per hr)
Time to trave back = 1.11 hours (70 miles / 63 mi per hr)
Total time to travel = 3.11 hours
Total distance covered = 140 miles
Average driving speed = 45 miles per hour (140 miles / 3.11 hours)

Just to be different, I'll go w/ 49PMH here............although, Deity's answer is right!!
