Thursday's puzzler - My Auntie Fanny
After visiting my Auntie Fanny, I travelled home in my old Vauxhall Corsa. The car was so old and battered, I was stuck in second gear. This meant that I could only travel along at a steady 30 miles per hour and managed a paltry 20 miles per gallon of fuel. At the start of the journey I had placed exactly 10 gallons of fuel into the tank. I knew though, that the fuel tank lost fuel at the rate of half a gallon per hour. As I arrived home, the car stopped because it had run out of fuel and I only just made it. How far was it from my Auntie Fanny's to my home?
