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?

Wow, you calculus guys are working too hard! Even though my solution is alot easier, I think I'm going to stick by mine. Maybe sometime when I have a couple hours to kill, I work through your solution...and either agree with it or try to refute it.
Excellent problem!
