I'm cooking toast - any takers ?

 

Do you have any Lurpak?

No, it went up in price so I opted for a cheaper option. Flora not so buttery. 

Get the Aldi version....not bad at all and half the price, much better than Flora in any case

yes a lot of Aldi stuff is nice

This task is boring and tedious

Let me help you out with a little puzzle to pass the time... 

 

Every day, Jack arrives at the train station from work at 5 pm.
His wife leaves home in her car to meet him there at exactly 5 pm, and drives him home. One day, Jack gets to the station an hour early, and starts walking home, until his wife meets him on the road. They get home 30 minutes earlier than usual. How long was he walking?

 

Distances are unspecified. Speeds are unspecified, but constant.

 

Give a number which represents the answer in minutes.

yes agree 15 minutes toyed with 45 mins 

You should have stuck with that answer. 

 

Puzzle Solution:

The best way to think about this problem is to consider it from the perspective of the wife. Her round trip was decreased by 30 minutes, which means each leg of her trip was decreased by 15 minutes.

 

Jack must have been walking for 45 minutes.

 He should have walked faster, then he could have done it in 15 minutes
