A riddle for you

[Tantalus]

Here's a riddle....

When I travel at 20 MPH I arrive 1 hour late, and when I travel at 30 MPH, I arrive 1 hour early. What speed should I go to get there on time?

 

[MiccyNarc]

I dunno, drive 25 MPH?

 

[kirovman]

24mph? That's just a few scribbles on a piece of paper though, I may have made a mistake.

 

[$kelet0r]

if it's a riddle it's not a mathematical solution

 

[kirovman]

Damn you riddlers.

Answer is: Travel at 30mph and set off one hour later :E

 

[MiccyNarc]

Or travel at 20mph and leave an hour earlier.
Or travel at 60 mph and two hours later.

Take a BUS YOU QUEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[$kelet0r]

bah stoopid riddles.. i can never get em

 

[Beerdude26]

120 miles
20 MPH : 6 hours
30 MPH : 4 hours
Ummm... An event that only happens every hour?
I dunno :/

 

[Sulkdodds]

Is it just me or is it 25mph? I mean seriously.

 

[kirovman]

Is it just me or is it 25mph? I mean seriously.

I think it is, but being a riddle, I wouldn't expect that to be the right answer since it's gonna be the answer 95% of people say.

 

[Sulkdodds]

Now look, it'd be a riddle if the question was 'I go 20mph and arrive an hour early; I go 30mph and arrive an hour late' but a riddle where an answer can be reached very easily by completely logical means is a crappy riddle. It's like 'if I walk slowly, I'm late. If I walk fast, I'm early. How to I get there exactly on time?" WALK MEDIUMLY FFS.

 

[Nat Turner]

20(t+1) = 30(t-1)
5 hours=t

20(5+1) = 120 miles

120/5 = 24 mph

 

[kirovman]

20(t+1) = 30(t-1)
5 hours=t

20(5+1) = 120 miles

120/5 = 24 mph

Yeah that's how I reached my first conclusion. I would say it is right, but apparently it's a riddle not a maths problem. :|

 

[Reaktor4]

30 mph.

 

[Nat Turner]

It's definitely a math problem, it's the only way to solve it.

 

[Sulkdodds]

30 mph.

That's a point.

 

[Uriel]

Stupid math, i thought it was gonna be a riddle.

Heres a real riddle "My Smoke comes before my fire, and my rain dries the land. What Am I?"

Because you don't have legs. You have mandibles.

Here's a riddle....

When I travel at 20 MPH I arrive 1 hour late, and when I travel at 30 MPH, I arrive 1 hour early. What speed should I go to get there on time?

At whatever speed that will get you there on time.

Answered, woot.

Edit - I'm assuming 20 MPH and 30 MPH are road names, and 1 hour late and 1 hour early are places.
