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

I'm trying again now, haven't found a 2 digit number yet, my first two attempts came up one short... Ah, of course the number itself can count as a divisor. I have a 2-digit candidate. Will look for a smaller one now.

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?

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?
