<< A simple brain teaser: You are crossing a railroad bridge that spans a deep
ravine. When you are 1/4 of the way across, you notice a train coming from
behind. If you try to run across the rest of the bridge, the train will hit
you just as you reach the other side. If you try to backtrack, the train
will hit you at the very beginning of the bridge. Question: how fast is the
train traveling relative to you?
>>
in relation to which of your speeds? the original walking speed? the
running speed? or the standing there calculating where the trains going to
hit you speed?
