| Nope... you guys arent on track at all... So to review The item requires another, larger item to go with it. This particular item is good only to the few people whe Share the same name. Its useless to others. The replacement cost very little. Now... Put these few things together and THINK! Questions used: 18 Questions left: 2 |

Yay... you may all kick yourselves due to the obviousness of the answer  ------Score------ NSNick-253 (OMG Large Lead) Grey-112 ziratha-70 Kario-42 (Boing) Smallhacker-30 Simon-30 Jagori-16 ----------------- Puzzle 25: The Train Problem (40 points) 'John and Bill were brothers who lived in the same house. One day they were returning from town by train. Bill missed the train John caught and had to wait for the next one. They both arrived at the same station, and of course, Bills train arrived later. Both trains traveled at the same speed. Both men walked at the same speed, and didnt use any other mode of transportation. They did not dwadle but strangely arrived at their house at exactly the same time. How?' Maybe a bit easier |

| I wouldn't consider it dawdling if he had waited at the station. I don't see how this would help, but Were they returning from the same town? |

| Good now I can say what I was going to say before I just said that and here goes. Both there trains left at different times but arrived a few minutes after one another, which caused both brothers to meet up and walk home together. I don't think I can break it down more without rambling on. |

| Let's try... The trains run very frequently, and are also very long. The first brother got on the end of the train furthest away from the exit of the station, and by the time he walked over to it, the other brother's train had arrived, and he got off the end of the train closest to the exit, right where his brother was. |
