An Ikea train leaves the station loaded with mimes at 3pm. The Home Depot train leaves the same station loaded with clowns. The Ikea train travels at 95 miles per hour while the other travels at 70 miles per hour. The home depot train does not have air brakes. If the Home Depot Train has traveled 300 miles when the Ikea train leaves the station, how long will it take for the two trains to meet?
Now imagine five leprechauns are tied to the tracks and in front of the Ikea train and one elf is tied to the tracks in front of the Home Depot train. Your hand is on the lever that can derail both trains. What do you do?
