~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

1. As it is written, it means w = c%2F8   (walking_time = cycling_time%2F8 ),
   
   although it seems to be meaningless).


2. It is written specially with the goal to miss the reader.

   It is an example on how Math text SHOULD NOT be written.


3. It doesn't relate to Math.
   There is no any relation to Math.


4. It is entirely the internal deal of the author to write such texts.

   Do not insult the Math with such . . .
