A man leaves his house at 8:00 AM and travelling at An average speed of 2 kph, arrives at his office 3 min ahead of the expected time.
Had he left his house at 8:30 AM, he will arrive 6 min late of the expected time.
What time should he arrive at the office?
:
Wait a minute, he leaves at 8 and is early. He leaves at 8:30 and is late!
This does not make sense unless he went much slower than 2 kph at 8:30.

What is going on here?
