How Many?

[smartypants10101]

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 ?

LIK - you forgot to give us the age of the barmaid.

[aelmpvw]

you failed to say whether the 46 seconds starts when the barmaid places her hand on the beer pump or not ...

is intellectual trauma a recognised condition?

[smartypants10101]

look for section titled: Riddles with numbers. then scroll down half page
look for the search box for that section (riddles with numbers) type in the search box walking man puzzle and it should be there

[nescio]

smartypants, instead of putting us all to that trouble, YOU go there and COPY the question AS WRITTEN for us

[jim360]

I'm not solving a puzzle to find the original puzzle. Direct link please.

[smartypants10101]

well i was going to do that, but if u all view the question for yourselves, then u can see i am asking the right question , sort of seeing is believing kinda thing , dont peep at the answers tho like i did lol

bhg & ael - she's 31, a West End actress (chorus so far, but hoping for the big role any day now) & having learned that Jim prefers a large glass of wine (? - L-i K scrambles for a reasonable alternative to beer) now times herself from picking up the bottle, so each round takes 28 secs to provide (Jim is still drinking chasers as well).

[jim360]

That would be great and all, but the link you've provided does not have a section titled "riddles with numbers". Or at least, if it does, then I wonder if you need to be a Mensa member to see it.

So can you get closer still? Open up the page with the actual question, and copy and paste the URL to that page. Not to some other page half a mile away from it.

[smartypants10101]

well thats upto you there wouldnt be much point in pasting the actual site up as the answers are given under each puzzle, tho to be fair i think the answer is as confusing as the question , but if u work it out it makes sense.

[jim360]

I'm sure it would make more sense than anything else on this thread so far.

Yes please paste it.

[bhg481]

smarty - if YOU go to the actual page, you can copy the question, leaving out the answer, and paste it on here. That way we can't cheat.

[chelle7272]

Just copy and paste the question then, directly off the site

[nescio]

Yes,
but your question, as written, is simply inaccurate, so any attempts at calculating the answer are pointless

[smartypants10101]

after checking the wording of the original question i can confirm that the only error i made in the wording was saying mph instead of kmph which may of threw u all off a little but i did correct that with a full admission to the error .

[jim360]

Copy and paste it verbatim.

K?
