His Dad will never catch up. In fact, the distance
between them will continue to grow. Every hour,
they will get +15+-+10+=+5+ miles further apart.
His Dad needs to be going faster than Randy to
catch him.

Won't ever happen. Dad left later going slower. Randy continues to get farther away every time unit.
