Scenario
There are two cars. Car A is driving from Location A to Location B and Car B is driving from Location B to Location A. Location A and Location B are 100 metres apart. The two cars leave at exactly the same time, there is no traffic, infact the only piece of information that affects the two car's journeys is that Car A consistently travels at 35mph and Car B consistently travels at 70mph. So, with all that taken into account, when the two cars meet, how much closer will Car B be to Point B than Car A?
Think carefully. Read the scenario a second time. Does it actually matter what speed the cars are going at?
NOTE: Make sure you are writing the numbers as figures ("20") rather than words ("twenty").
