I really liked this one - because it promotes lateral thinking.
Forget the complex math. Forget the variables. Let's not find x today. X can find itself, if it has to.
And with that thought process, get into the question:
At 9am a man and his dog leaves how. The slower man and the faster dog. The dog has no interest in snailing it out with his pet-parent, and instead hurtles his/her way to the park, reaching there at 9.30am.
We, hence, know that the dog can cover the distance from the home to the park - whatever it is - in 30 minutes, at his regular constant running speed.
Now, the man's still ambling his way to the park. Doggo spends 20 minutes at the park, and spends 10 more minutes running back to catch his owner and join him, at his pace, for the walk back to the park.
The key lies in the 10 minutes. Remember how the dog took 30 minutes to reach the park, and has now travelled back 10 minutes? He's covered 1/3rd of the distance between the park and the home in this long. Which means, the man is 2/3rd of the distance from his home. And it's taken him an hour to do that.
So, how long will he need to complete the remaining 1/3rd? 30 minutes. 10.30am.Bunuel
