Question 316699: If a train leaves Chicago at 45 mph heading east and a train leaves New York at 70 mph which state will they meet at? Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
It depends. Where do the train tracks run? I know for a fact that the train from Chicago doesn't start off heading east -- not unless someone has invented a new submarine train, or built a mighty long bridge across the fat part of Lake Michigan that I don't know about.
If the train runs as close to a straight line as possible, they should meet somewhere in the middle of Ohio. Otherwise, if they have to go up through Albany first, it is a toss up -- could be New York, could be Penn, could be Northeastern Ohio. Up along the south shore of Lake Erie somewhere.
