Thought id stick a few questions up for anyone whos bored, i know chip likes stuff like this so it can give you a bit brain workout

Ill start with a nice easy one first


A hiker walks from one town to another. On the first day she covers one quarter of the total distance.

The next day she covers one quarter of what is left.

The following day she covers two fifths of the remainder and on the fourth day half of the remaining distance.

She now has 15 miles left. How many miles has she travelled?

 

.

 

sorry working it out and posted

 

74 miles travelled

Or 73.8 for any pedants

Total Journey 88.8 Miles

 

None, she got mugged and raped.

 

88.8 miles ?

 

ahhhh me and my cus just spent ages and you popped up

 

Oh lol , you should be out having fun on a friday night at your age

 

everyone keeps telling me got work to do tomorrow so got to keep it sensible, got to simply fit engine in car all running gear, exhaust, map it/ testing all in two saturdays,

 

Is that where you come into the equation.

Benni.

 

You are all wrong!

The total distance is 88.8 recurring miles
The distance travelled is 73.8 recurring miles
rounded up to one DP 88.9 miles total distance
and 73.9 miles travelled.
assuming she walked in a perfect arc of radius 3963.5 miles

 

1st...two people posted the same answer, as in 88.8mls
2nd...you really need to get out more, regardless of the answer

 

I would say well done apart from the drivel about walking in an arc
