I thought it was 5 points for each correct answer, like the word challenges before. My mistake!!!!!!!

Because he is used to doing his work, even while unconcious. Or, not all of his personalities are on the same page at the same time. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gifQuote:

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 hourQuote:

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!!
