Oz's Question of the day #161(27/11/09) Maths !

[OZXJR]

A man decided to take his dog for a walk to the local waterfall 10 miles away.
At the moment he started, his dog ran off from his side and proceeded to the waterfall at a constant speed of 8 miles per hour.
As soon as the dog reached the waterfall, it started the return journey to his owner, keeping to the same speed.
The dog continued this odd behaviour until his owner reached the waterfall.
If the man kept to a constant speed of 4 miles per hour,
how far did his dog run in total?

PM answers please.

Dear Question of the Day,

We used to be such close friends. Might I say at some point, even closer.
However, with your maths, physicks, and your number crunching shenanigans I feel myself being pushed away again and again (Particularly around 8:30pm every evening). I still find myself addicted to your regular and numerous expositions. I must be brave and confess I do catch myself staring at your luscious 12 point font, and regal Arial bearing.

My days spent in a haze, I find myself completing the sudoku in the Herald, re measuring my FZ6's fuel consumption, and connecting the dots in my niece's playbook.

So I plead with you Question, for what else am I too do? For I still find myself attracted to your deviousness. You're subtle questions whispering in my ear, day to day, like 'What is the first number in the grid' or 'how quickly can the Birmingham Trio play it' (Was that even a Maths question?). Help me end this vicious daily mathematical cycle.

Yours in utter mathematical befuddlement,
Circle.

I hear rumors periodically that someday the US will join the rest of the world with the metric system, but I don't think it will ever happen.

However, with your maths, physicks, and your number crunching shenanigans I feel myself being pushed away again and again (Particularly around 8:30pm every evening).

I do enjoy math Fridays, but thanks for the considerate, clever rant Circle. Hopefully you and Oz will be close friends again soon.
