Again we have a puzzle from the Sherlock Holmes puzzle book by Dr. Watson (aka Tim Dedopulos).\u00a0 This one is quite a bit more challenging, at least for me.<\/p>\nAgain we have a puzzle from the Sherlock Holmes puzzle book by Dr. Watson (aka Tim Dedopulos).\u00a0 This one is quite a bit more challenging, at least for me.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen Holmes and I met with Wiggins one afternoon, he was accompanied by a rather scrappy-looking mutt, who eyed me with evident suspicion.<\/p>\n
\u2018This is Rufus,\u2019 Wiggins said. \u2018He\u2019s a friend.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018Charmed,\u2019 I said.<\/p>\n
\u2018He\u2019s very energetic,\u2019 Wiggins told us. \u2018Just this morning, he and I set out for a little walk.\u2019<\/p>\n
At the word \u2018walk\u2019, the dog barked happily.<\/p>\n
\u2018When we set out, he immediately dashed off to the end of the road, then turned round and bounded back to me. He did this four times in total, in fact. After that, he settled down to match my speed, and we walked the remaining 81 feet to the end of the road at my pace. But it seems to me that if I tell you the distance from where we started to the end of the road, which is 625 feet, and that I was walking at four miles an hour, you ought to be able to work out how fast Rufus goes when he\u2019s running.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018Indeed we should,\u2019 said Holmes, and turned to look at me expectantly.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s the dog\u2019s running speed?\u201d<\/p>\n
