then it didn't tell you how long, either.

It *did* say how long, stupid: 40 minutes.

You are calling yourself stooped.

Nope - I'm calling you stupid, because you continually show you *are*
stupid.



Is that what you are going to whine about next?

No whining - pointing out the dummy stated the problem badly. He didn't
say if they completed the trip.

If they didn't complete the trip then how did
you know how long it took?

He *said* how long they drove, you ****wit: 20 min apiece. If they set
out on a 40 mile trip, and they each drive 20 min, how far did they go?
You don't know unless someone tells you *or* unless you know the
average speed at which they drove. You merely *assumed* they completed
the trip, but the problem statement doesn't say that.

This inattention to detail is a big part of why you're stupid.
