American Ingenuity at Work: From a 1999 police report in The Messenger (Madisonville, Ky.), concerning two trucks being driven strangely on a rural road: A man would drive one truck 100 yards, stop, walk back to a second truck, drive it 100 yards beyond the first truck, stop, walk back to the first truck, drive it 100 yards beyond the second truck, and so on. According to police, the man's brother had passed out drunk in one of the trucks, so the man decided to drive both trucks home. (Not surprisingly, a blood-alcohol test showed that he, too, was impaired.) [The Messenger, 5-7-99]maybe i should have put this in the "only in america" thread!

There's gotta be a good high school math problem here....If the man walks 100 yards in 2 minutes, and drives each truck 10 MPH during each "leap frog" movement, what is the optimum distance he should drive each truck ahead of the other one to get them both "home" in the least amount of time?
