10 km/hr for 1 hour is 10 km.  13 km/hr for 2 hours is 26 km.  11 km/hr for 1 hour is 11 km.  10 plus 26 plus 11 is 47 km total in 4 hours.  47 divided by 4 is NOT 15.  The idea that the average speed over the whole trip was 15 km/hr is ridiculous both analytically and intuitively.  How could the average be MORE than any of the component data points?

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
