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

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

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
