Problem 1
Solution


Problem 1 A train journey to London. Solution.

Suppose Jonathan leaves Leuchars at midday. He will reach London at 17.45. The train leaving London at 6.00 in the morning will reach Leuchars at 11.45 so Jonathan's train won't pass that train. However it will pass each train leaving London from 7.00 until 17.00 so he will pass eleven trains.
