20,000 mph. Wow, that's impressive.


Typo. Either that or Bob is riding a meteor.
That's copied straight off the practice sheet. Nice one air force.


As an aside, this reminds me of the front page of an RAF Quality Manual.

it read:-

Royal Air Force Quality Manual

"Getting it right, first time, everytime"

Version 1.2.2 release 2.1

Clearly whoever wrote these questions didn't read the quality manual then, its riddled with typos lol

I suspect this is handled with a little less care than say, air traffic control though. I really, really hope so anyway :P

Alternatively, it could be 20 kilometers an hour, which is a tad more believable...

Blimey, I cannot even do the river question. Can someone give me a hint?

I used to be good at maths... it's worrying how much you forget and how much the brain atrophies...

Look at the 12 hour part, See the difference in his times going upstream and downstream, those two numbers, with 12 hours, should lead you to the speed of the current :wink:

Am I to assume that he spent an equal amount of time rowing upstream as he did downstream?
