A guy is paddling a canoe up a stream at a constant speed (through the water). The water is flowing downstream at another constant speed (over ground). At some point a cooler falls out of the canoe into the water. After 10 minutes of paddling the guy notices that it is missing and turns around immediately and paddles downstream. While he is paddling downstream, he travels the same speed through the water as he did upstream. When he finally reaches the cooler, the cooler has traveled 1 kilometer from the spot where it fell out of the canoe.
How fast is the water flowing downstream (over ground) in kilometers per hour?
