The number of minutes past 3:10 PM must be
\n" ); document.write( "evenly divided by both 24 and 16.
\n" ); document.write( "First, I tried \"+16%2A24+=+384+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Then I took half of that
\n" ); document.write( "\"+384%2F2+=+192+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+192%2F24+=+8+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+192%2F16+=+12+\"
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Then I tried half of that
\n" ); document.write( "\"+192%2F2+=+96+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+96%2F24+=+4+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+96%2F16+=+6+\"
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "This says that the bus that stops every 24 min will
\n" ); document.write( "make 4 stops, and the bus that stops every 16 min
\n" ); document.write( "will make 6 stops in 96 min
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+96+=+60+%2B+36+\"
\n" ); document.write( "3:10 + 1 hr + 36 min = 4:46
\n" ); document.write( "At 4:46 PM, they arrive at the same time\r
\n" ); document.write( "
