1. OK
If a train leaves Chicago going south at 45 miles an hour, and begins to accelerate 20 miles after it has left at a rate of 15 miles per hour evvery hour, how long will it take to reach Buenos Aires, assuming it must stop every 12 hours for refueling for a half hour period?

9. Thank you
I always suspected that about the universe as the fundamental cornerstone of my personal faith is the gods are practical jokers. It's comforting to have my suspicions confirmed.

So, woodchucks chuck wood solely as a hobby when they're not hanging at the DU Lounge?
