Nope - sorry, ****bag, nowhere did you say "speed is 60 mph." Look
again, cocksucker. Here's what you wrote:

Alice and Bob go on a forty mile road trip. Alice drives for 20
minutes and then they take a five minute rest break after which
Frank drives 20 minutes. What was their average speed?

Nothing about 60 mph, ****head. You lied. I knew you would lie.

Yep it was a trick question because he didn't tell you the answer.

It was a trick question because he didn't give enough information to
answer it.


The information not given was the answer. Very tricky

No, that's wrong, stupid. The information not given was how far they
traveled. They set *out* on a forty mile trip, but the crappily-worded
problem doesn't say how far they traveled; it doesn't specify if they
completed the trip. So, if Alice drove for 20 minutes and went 10
miles, and Bob drove 20 minutes and covered 15 miles, then they only did
25 of their intended 40 miles and averaged about 37.3 mph. Without
saying how far each driver went, you can't determine their speed. The
problem statement is badly worded, which I would expect from a ****wit
like the OP.

You work at being stupid, don't you? In fact, most of the people here
do. By golly, it's the one thing in life at which you all succeed.
Good job!
