Default Re: Can you solve Barlow's Quandary?

Without admitting that I might be old, I'll just say that some years ago, I came across a math problem -- I think late elementary school. It has stuck with me:

Two cars race on a track -- to, and back again. One car goes 70 miles per hour the entire route; the second goes 60 miles per hour halfway, and then 80 miles per hour on the return. Is their a winner, and if so, who ?

This is LakeDude's question, but better, because it is a race !

this car [P2000] within this year [1998]. We will also make FCEV available in
2004."
