I thought the rabbit problem a few Christmases ago was interesting.
That was 10 years ago!

I solved the the problem using different techniques.
I must be getting old, time starts to run together or be compressed.
This was a little more challenging than trains and tunnels.
What is the twist ? I dont see the need to use Excel for something like this.I feel the figures in my original "puzzle" were a little too easy to work with, so here goes for Round 2, with a twist !
The train is now 575 yards long.
The tunnel is now 4.3 miles long.
The train clears the tunnel, nose in to tail out, in 10 minutes.
What average speed through the tunnel was it traveling to achieve this ?

Just normalise your dimensions and then you have a very simple equation of distance over time gives you the velocity.

Maybe the train is going backwards?
I did not spend a lot of time on it but in the PM you said my answer was wrong... so whats correct answer and how was it calculated? I broke mine down to seconds then tried to figure it out
This is a first year algebra "story" problem.
We don't want the little angels to have to live with the stigma of failing high school do we? So we only fail those that are too stupid to not care.The state of Michigan implemented years back an exam that had to be passed to get a standard high school diploma.
Now, everyone I have ever known up for a diploma was a high school senior - but the state legislature had a BIG problem deciding whether to make the test at the 6th or 7th grade level. It was never even considered to make the test at a high school level, especially a high school senior year level.
