\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Tom: 4 miles
\n" ); document.write( "Jake:0 miles\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "one hour\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Tom: 8 miles
\n" ); document.write( "Jake:6 miles\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "one hour and a half\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Tom: 12
\n" ); document.write( "Jake:12\r
