If two commuter rail trains leave Haverhill at the same time going 30 miles an hour, one catches fire and slows down to 10 miles an hour, then stalls completely in front of the other train, how long will your commute be delayed by?

Remember how in high school you said you won't need to solve math problems once you graduate? lol

Use a slide rule instead of a ouija board. It's a better fit because that's what the MBTA is already using in house. They don't have the cash to invest in these "computer" thingies that everyone keeps talking about.

Train 204 is 610 from Haverhill. The first text is wrong.

I was stuck on it for an hour.
