Mr. Grumper grumbles about bad time-keeping
trains like everybody else. On one particular morning he was justified,
though. The train left on time for the one hour journey and it arrived
5 minutes late. However, Mr. Grumper's watch showed it to be 3 minutes
early, so he adjusted his watch by putting it forward 3 minutes. His
watch kept time during the day, and on the return journey in the evening
the train started on time, according to his watch, and arrived on time,
according to the station clock.
The station clock is 3 minutes fast. The morning
journey took 65 minutes, and the evening journey therefore took 52 minutes,
and the train arrived 57 minutes after it should have left, that is,
3 minutes early. |
