A genius was walking along a railroad track when she came upon a narrow railroad bride.
The bridge was only wide enough to allow the train to pass.
When she was 3/8 of the way across, she heard a train whistle. Being a genius, she instantly realized that if she ran back to the beginning of the bridge at her speed, she would be able to get out of the way just in time to avoid being hit by the train and if she were to continue at her speed to the end of the bridge, she would just have time to get off the bridge before being hit by the train.
If she runs at 10.5mph, how fast is the train going?
