Problem 10

Due in DSC 203 by 3 PM, Friday October 27, 2000



A man whose clock had stopped running wound it up, but did not have access to the correct time to reset it. Leaving the clock at home, he walked to the home of a friend whose clock was correct, stayed for some time and then walked home (in the same time as he took earlier). Upon arriving home, he set his clock to the correct time even though he did not know how long he had walked! Explain.


Solutions, questions and/or comments should be directed to Judy Downey or Griff Elder
