I'm trying again now, haven't found a 2 digit number yet, my first two attempts came up one short...

Well done, Vinny.

Nice one Vinny. I got 72 then gave up

How about this one?
To get to the airport, I must travel at 60km/hr. Due to bad traffic, I discover that when I am half way there, I have only averaged 30km/hr.
How fast must I go for the second half of my journey to achieve my overall speed of 60km/hr?
RE: Puzzle a Day! - JJB - 06-05-2023
I've a feeling this is one isn't as easy as it first appears. Am I an idiot in saying you should continue at a speed of 30k/hr?

I know the answer and I'm still trying to understand it!
