heres a riddle to tickle your noodle:
A train breaks down 1 hour after starting its journey. Repair takes a 1/2 hour, but the train can only continue at 1/2 speed and arrives 2 hours late. If the delay was 100km further in the journey, it would have been 1 hour late. What is the total journey distance?

350 KM? I am so bad at this type of question anymore. Long ago are my days as captain of the math team...

1kg is the answer. The unit of measure "heavy" converts to kg as 1kg = 2 * heavy.

Re: Riddles
heavy is not a unit of measure in this question, 1kg is not the answer.
