Taxi Ride
by
Erik Oosterwal
A cabbie picked up a passenger at the Omni Hotel in downtown Chicago who
wanted to go the O'Hare airport. Due to traffic, the average speed was rather
low and the trip to the airport took 80 minutes. At the airport, the cabbie
picked up another passenger who, coincidently, wanted to go back to the Omni
Hotel. The taxi driver took the same route as before, had the same average
speed, but this time the trip took 1 hour and 20 minutes.
Can you explain why?
I give up, show me the Answer
