New Math

Two cars head toward each other from Goodfield and Normal (30 miles apart). The SUV is traveling at 80 mph, the Saturn at 60 mph. Assuming that each maintains a constant rate of speed:

1. How long will it take for the cop hiding on the hill near the Goodfield exit to catch the SUV?
2. How long will it take for the two kids in the SUV's back seat to start arguing?
3. Why are they headed toward each other? Is there something going on in Carlock, and what in the world could be that interesting?
4. At $4 a gallon, why make the trip at all?
5. Are you seriously going to use GPS? Come on.
