How can there be four equations in this scenario???<br /><br />Lets assume it takes 1 hour total for a round trip with horse & 3 hours for a round trip omn foot. This gives us only 2 equations:<br />Variables:<br />TUH = Uphill time with horse<br />TDH = Downhill time with horse<br />TU = Uphill time without horse<br />TD = Downhill time without horse<br /><br />Equations:<br />TUH + TDH = 1<br />TU + TD =3 <br /><br />Plz let me know if I'm missing something.<br /><br />Amit Bhatt<br />amitprbhatt@gmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573456362841621035.post-91421899903102636372011-02-16T08:29:52.084-08:002011-02-16T08:29:52.084-08:00You have to go up the hill and come back, with hor...You have to go up the hill and come back, with horse, without horse, getting four equations to solve four unknowns - time to go uphill - with horse, without horse, time to go downhill - with horse, without horse. Then you can go up the hill and set the clock to ,(time when you left) + (time to go uphill with horse)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08388805306629452557noreply@blogger.com
