In the UK, most people still use miles per hour for speeds, unless it’s in a scientific setting.

@Kristian: I was thinking that if you slowed down time you’d get more time to think out the answer. But that would mean it would take longer before the trains would collide and the question gets remade >_<

@Esn: Uh, ok? I’d think strips like XKCD or SMBC might’ve done something similar at one point, but I for one haven’t seen any other comic from them or anyone else with this premise/joke. Oh, and “lately”..? Was there a recent surge of “math assignments set in real world scenarios culminating in protagonist getting sentenced to do 3rd grade all over again”-comics I wasn’t aware of? :P

@Olaf: Congratulations! Your prize is a free RSS subscription to Optipess.com!

@danineteen: Indeed. And being sentence to do 3rd grade math classes all over again is just about the strictest punishment one can get for doing a crime like this.

@SilverDSlite: Zelda? I’m confused.

The trains will collide in twelve minutes, 14 miles from where Train A currently is (and 12 miles from where Train B currently is).

Sorry, I think this joke has been really overdone lately…
