Which way are you running... clockwise or counter-clockwise ?
Which way is the second hand turning... clockwise or counter-clockwise ?
Doesn't matter, neither can go half-way without first going... Oh, never mind.
Train A leaves the station at 8:00 am going south at 40 mph
Train B leaves the station at 8:00 am going north at 60 mph
Stations are 360 miles apart.
Are trains A and B ever at the same place at the same time ?
Why or why not ?
