[quote=michaljatof]The answer to 2 isn't 20 km/h, it's 15 km/h.
Lets say the road from home to school was 30 km, then the ride to school would take 3 hours, and the ride home would take 1 hour.
In 4 hours he traveled 60 km: 60/4=15 km/h[/quote]

1. Make a graph. You should see a pattern pretty quickly. Just list all the 4-digit numbers that have digits the sum of 6, then check which one(s) are divisible by 12.

2. 20 km/h. You do (10+30)/2

3. Do something like x=(48y)+(52z) or something and see which one x can not equal o.o (too lazy to do it right now)

[quote=Warhodes]1) What kind of dumbass question is that.

2) 20, add them together and then divide by the number of values (In this case, 2).

3) What are the numbers?[/quote]
