\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "find a multiple of the track dist using the fast guy: 6 ft/sec
\n" ); document.write( "6 * 300 = 1800 ft
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Fast guy: 300 sec or 5 min to complete(6 laps)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2nd fast guy: 300 sec * 3 = 900 ft in 5 min (3laps)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "slow guy 300 sec * 1 = 300 ft in 5 min, (1lap)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Should all be starting a new lap in 5 min \n" ); document.write( "
