...if it was only two 3mph guys..so one would go half way at 5mph then walk the rest for a total of 8 hours...

with tass in it it makes my mind hurt

Re: MrRubix's Riddle Thread

Tass should ride the bike, and have his little minions on the frontal pedals (what do you call those?) and they will get there in 2 hours? :P lol

EDIT: I didn't say anything about tass ferrying because I thought that wasn't allowed in this situation. Then again, it would be really easy if it wasn't. anyways...

PS: sorry if you don't like the color, I just wanted to see if the color thing can be an eye catcher, so you'd read the notice.

Re: MrRubix's Riddle Thread

It seems to me that given how fast Tass goes on the bike, what you want to do is have fractal and emerald switch off walking/riding by having Tass ferry the bike back and forth, since once he gives someone the bike, he moves at the same pace they do while walking.

Relambrien: Creative, but not every interval of infinity is of the same length. You're not taking into account infinitesimal time taken to catch up. You're still not going to do it efficiently.

Well, that's what I got out of Calc AB, so I thought I'd give it a try, haha.

Also, to clarify based on dev's point: can a person move backwards? I've seen a riddle similar to this one (not the "three people need to cross a river and only have one boat" riddle), and it included a "cannot go backward" clause, so I figured that this one, of the same vein, would be the same.

If it's not the same, and a person can go backward, then my previous point about tass being irrelevant is incorrect.

Best answer for now is 7.714285714 h. But not the best for Rubix.

Re: MrRubix's Riddle Thread

Well, if Tass uses the bike and the other 2 changes their jobs to "Magicians", they can just Teleport there, durr.

Nice signature, SoldierGuy.

It's just a little over the appropriate signature size. You might want to re-size it even though you are probably a troll.

I get 7.6 hours, no matter how many times I have Tass ferry it.

Same here.

1.---------------|---------------
2.---------|---------------------
3.---------------|---------------

Re: MrRubix's Riddle Thread

Personally, I get 7,8h now once I corrected my mistake.

EDIT: Scratch that. Made a mistake while correcting another. This is getting me pumped. I think I will stop for a while to cool down.

Re: MrRubix's Riddle Thread

If I can get 7.6 hours without Tass ferrying, I think there's something wrong with that answer or my answer. I'll try to see what can Tass do to make it faster.

Edit: I feel like I'm gonna end up with irrational numbers by the end of it...

Re: MrRubix's Riddle Thread

Initially I had thought 7.3 but I made an error. I can at least use the excuse of not using a calculator XD

My new answer is 7.6
