A particle is travelling from point A to point B. These two points are separated by distance D. Assume that the initial velocity of the particle is zero.

Given that the particle never increases its acceleration along its journey, and that the particle arrives at point B with speed V, what is the longest time that the particle can take to arrive at B?

So far as I know, a scholar can edit only his own problems once they are posted on the site.  I had thought that anyone can do so for their own problem, until the official solution is posted, in the same manner as before posting, but I guess only scholars can do that--but again only for their own problems.
