Girl, Boy and Dog Puzzle - Solution
The Puzzle:
A girl, a boy, and a dog are walking down a road together.
The boy walks at 5 km/h, and is just behind the girl who walks at 6 km/h.
The dog runs from boy to girl and back again with a constant speed of 10 km/h. The dog does not slow down on the turn.
How far does the dog travel in 1 hour?
Our Solution:
10km. Because the dog's speed is 10 km/h.
Where the boy and girl are has no effect on answering this puzzle.
But if you asked WHERE the dog is after 1 hour ... that would be a very hard question to answer!
