The answer to last week’s challenge is, Q: Train A and Train B are crossing the country from coast to coast, a distance of over 3000 kms. A is traveling from Melb to Perth at 100km/hour. B leaves at the same time from Perth to travel to Melb traveling at 110km/per hour. Which train will be closer to the West coast when they meet?

A: When they meet they will both be exactly the same distance from the coast.

This week’s challenge is:
