Roman army, you (and lots of other people in kongregate) should read this:

Specially N°438 (mouseover the comic to read more text)
aoxomoxoa, i think I know where you are making a mistake,...(696+145)/2 would be a valid answer if the plane had spent the same time traveling at each speed, BUT, it took longer to travel at 145 mph, so the averege will be closer to 145mph than to 696

kratosgow, i actually have no idea of how i guessed #10...it just came to me, i tried SF first, and then the real answer (hint: US city)....

r5/5
aoxomoxoa, i just won the game, and there's nothing worng with n°13, you have to figure out:
a) how much time the first trip took
b) how much the second one took
c) how much distance it covered in total (2x the distance from ny to london, this was my mistake originally)
d) now you know it took X hs to travel Y miles...Y/X = mph
Its creepy, if I write:
My first name: John Connor
My Middle name: Terminator
is it my destiny to become either the savior of humanity or the destroyer?? The Answer: NO. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves
