John rows his boat at the same speed. He left his front porch one morning rowing upstream. When he was one mile from his house his hat fell off and landed in the water. It was an old hat so he continued rowing. Ten minutes later he remembered that he had a $1 bill stuck inside that old hat so he turned (without losing any speed) down river. He caught up with his hat just as it bumped up against the front of his porch. What was the speed of the river current that morning in mph?? and why? I can't solve this problem and would like some help : ).

Please, although there are people out there with a good sense of humor, I would like serious responses and a brief explanation if you don't mind. This is a homework bonus problem that I'd like to get done so...

Jim = chippie, Astrid = Plumber, Leonard = VCR tech ( Is Astrid a woman or a guy with an noticeably unusual call and what the heck does he/she have going with Jim? Who names their little ones Astrid in any case? what percentage data does a plumber comprehend and who's that this smartass Jim?)

There was not a river current that morning because he was rowing on pavement. 0 mph!

THE SAME AS THE REST OF THE DAY, BECAUSE HE NEVER GAINED OR LOST SPEED, SO IT CAN BE ANY NUMBER.
