if it took an average man 15 mins to walk 1 mile , then he stopped for a break for 30 seconds then walked half a mile back then stopped for a further 30 seconds and returned to the end point of his original journey , how long has it took him to walk the half mile back ?

This is the most fun I've had on AB for years.

u are all presuming he took only 30 secs in his breaks , remember he took 2 of those, so after his last one, how long did it take the man to walk the half mile back to the original destination he was going to, (remember this is the end of the mile not his return back to the halfway point) this is the point you all keep missing!
you see now where it gets confusing. All along i have said he had two 30 sec breaks but jims last comment part a and b says only 30 secs i have pasted the words to show u its not me ..

(a) you still haven't linked to the original source for this question.
(b) How the hell else are we going to interpret "he stopped for a break for 30 seconds" but as "he had a 30-second long break"?!
