>Ba1ne...... ur theory is prob. the best but given the circumstances that we dont know the distance and/or time i would still go with the plus and divide one!!

I would stickt to 36.66 but Brain has a point in his answer!
Another question:
What do you get if you divide 30 by half and then add 10 to it? |

Pink Lady got it right, it's definitely 35.2
Formula is 2*44*29.33333/(44+29.33333)

The question was not informative enough but maybe it wasnt supposed to be. We will just have to wait for the answer in the Daily Express on Friday which it better be in. |

@maltesh: 30 by half + 10? that must be 25 or is this a trick question?
@bra1ne and everyone else: Mine and bra1ne's answer has been confirmed! The answer is 35.2 mph. I sent this question to a good friend of mine who is a distinguished member of MENSA Sweden. He answered within a minut, 35.2mph. No doubt about it, he said!

Yes, of course it's 35.2! The way back always takes 1.5 times longer, so the distance doesn't matter at all...

@kevin you are wrong! Its not a trick question but very straight forward. Anyone else giving my question a shot? |

@maltesh: Nah. I didn't cheat. Since 25 was wrong, I just read your question again carefully and came up with the right answer! Yeah!
