we have fifty, 400 pound men sitting in a bus going 185 miles per hour, if the bus has to stop for 5 minutes because one of these men has to poop, what is the average speed over a 200 mile course???

The time taken is (200 miles divided by 185 mph) plus 5 minutes. Divide 200 miles by that time to get the average speed. Obviously, it's going to be less than 185 mph by around 1/12th
