(Tuesday after midnight, but it still counts as Tuesday.)

One mile at 7.0 mph. Two miles at 8.5 mph. 1/4 mile at 4.0 mph. 1/2 mile at 9.3 mph. 1/4 mile at 4.0 mph to round out 4 miles.

How long did that take? Math exercise for you. Nah, don’t bother. But here’s another math problem / brain teaser to solve:

bq. How many minutes is it before six o’clock if 50 minutes ago it was four times as many minutes after three o’clock?

Wrap your head around that one for a bit. Here’s another one:

bq. A kid has $2.16, and spends it on a bunch of candy bars. The cost of each bar divides evenly into the money he has, so he gets no change back. He realizes that if each bar were one cent cheaper, he could buy exactly three more bars (that is, the cost of each bar would still divide his $2.16 evenly). How many bars did he get?
