Answer to Thursday's Puzzler
The correct answer is 150 miles:As I was travelling at 30 mph, I was using 1.5 gallons of fuel and losing 0.5 gallon of fuel for each hour I travelled. Therefore, I was getting through the fuel at a total rate 2 gallons per hour. Since I had 10 gallons of fuel at the start, I could travel for 5 hours before running out. 5 hours at 30 mph is 150 miles. Simple really....
