Eno’s car leaves home doing 70 miles an hour. His work is only 12 miles away. A motorcycle cop chases him at 75 miles an hour. What did Fang have for breakfast?
At 70mph you’re only gaining 10 miles, that’s an extra mile every six minutes. Unless you have a super long commute, speeding doesn’t save a significant amount of time and all it does is burn more fuel.

And now you’ll be later than if you were only doing 60.

The faster you drive, there is a greater chance you’ll get there sooner. There is also a greater chance you won’t get there ate all.

That’s no word problem; it’s straight-up math.

How about this one. Eno has $200. The judge takes $195. How much beer money does Eno have left?

Eno’s always getting stopped by the same cop. When will he ever learn?

The real question is how much time has been wasted talking to you when I could be at home by now drinking beer.

SO – this is why we learned those word problems in school. I knew there had to be a reason.
