A train leaves NYC. One hour later, another train leaves Boston. If both trains travel at the same speed, which train would be closer to NYC when they find each other?

The one leaving NYC would be a bit closer, if you figure in the length of each train. The two engines (front) would be the same distance at the point of meeting, but the one from NYC would have the rest of the train behind it, which would make it closer.

Depends which track is closer. If both tracks are pointing away from NYC then the train that came from NYC, because when the trains meet, the back of the train from NYC will be closer than the back of the other train.

The trains will be very close to each other so they will be equidistant from NYC but the train leaving NYC will be a bit closer to NYC since its bogies will be towards NYC and the bogies of the other rain will be towards Boston.

They're in the same place when they meet each other. Neither is closer.

i have always suck at these... i am assuming that the one that leaves nyc would still be closer... thanks for making it easier than the SAT's, though.. maybe if you wrote their questions, I would not have totally sucked at the math part... (smile)
