Brain Teasers
Kebab Race
Mad Ade and Rod Lightning decide to race each other to the "Sweaty Chef Kebab Shop", exactly one mile away, and then back again.
Mad Ade, being the Kebab lard-ladened beast he is, ran (more like staggered) at 10 miles per hour to the kebab shop, but managed a whopping 30 miles per hour back (down hill with a following tail wind).
Rod Lightning, on the other hand, being less kilogramically challenged than Mad Ade, ran at a constant 20 miles per hour each way.
Who won the race?

Who won the race?
Answer
Rod did, because at 20 mph, when he reached the "Sweaty Chef" Mad Ade (running at half the speed of Rod) was only half way there, and by the time Rod had run home again, Mad Ade would have just made it to his favourite kebab shop.Hide Answer Show Answer

and the fact that Mad-Ade would probably spend a whole lot more time in the shope then his from rod lightning.
What is it with Mad-ade and kebabs
I think he likes kebabs. )
My way of working this out is Mad went the same distance both ways, but obvously he spent less time going fast than he did going slow. Because there sppeds average the same, Mad would lose.

Does it bother anyone that at 20mph, Rod is running a 3 minute mile? This is way better than the world record!
