1. Assuming he begins his journey *immediately*, he must travel 56 miles per hour to traverse 28 miles in 30 minutes.
2. 9^9, or if you will allow a shorthand notation, 9E9.
Or if you literally mean "2" digits, then there is no limit, 22222...
Or if you mean 2 digits of "2" digits, then 2^2 or 2E2
EDIT: Oops, here's a better answer: 99! factorial notation (or again, 22!)
3. The word "Paris" begins with the letter "P", and the word "Ends" begins with the letter "E".

number 1. I would say at least 60 miles per hour. Then youd make it 2 minutes early, just enuff time to get out and punch in or whatever you do.
number 2. Using only the 2 digit, the largest would be 22. If thats what you meant, but if u meant any 2 digits. it would be 99.
number 3. I have no idea , paris ends with an S. unless you wanna go far as europ "e"

1. From rough calculations in my head and rounding up, I would say maybe averaging 58 miles per hour.
2. 99 or if you meant 2 different ones, 98
3. Because of the way the French spell it, I'm truly not sure sorry.

1. He needs to travel at atleast (28/0.5) 56miles per hour
2. nine to the power of nine 9^9 (=387420489)
3. because thats how it is pronounced. Or maybe bacause it is also known as "paname"

1.
60 mph, which is 1 mile a minute, this allows 2 minutes to get from the car to the meeting.
2.
99? for obvious reasons.
3.
Paree?

1) 60 MPH
2) 9^9 (Nine to the ninth power)
3) It doesn't, it ends with an S.
