Actually, I don't believe this works because a jet engine cannot function well at low altitudes and a propeller-driven plane cannot function well at high altitudes because of the oxygen content of the air... oh, nevermind. I'm upset you loathe mathematics, but happy you seem competent at it. Do you like physics? What about anthropology and archaeology?A jet plane traveling at 600 mph overtakes a propeller-driven plane that had a two hour head start. The propeller-driven plane is traveling at 200 mph. How far from the starting point does the jet overtake the propeller-driven plane?
