One morning it starts to snow at a constant rate. Later, at 6:00am, a snow plow sets out to clear a straight street. The plow can remove a fixed volume of snow per unit time.
If the plow covered twice as much distance in the first hour as the second hour, what time did it start snowing?
This can't be right. No unionised snow-plower would be out on the road working within forty minutes of the first snowflake. This problem should be under "Paradoxes"...
