Little Brain Teaser
 
Hi All

Here is a little brain teaser for you, off to our summer rally this week which is 34 miles away but it will take 612 miles of driving? Why?

Cheers Phil

You are taking nine vehicles.
Or your three CMP's on three days returning each day.

I cannot say for sure, but I had a similar puzzle two weekends ago. I took a quad, limber and tractor to an airshow display that was just 33 kms away, and by the time it was over I had travelled 463kms. If I were to claim mileage at treasury board rates I think it would be a few cents over $300.

With 3 vehicles......
 
Takes Phil at least five trips to get there and the same to come back home that accounts for at least 340 miles.... then they have the beach runs, the ice cream run, the wooden trail runs and the "I forgot to pack this run".....

Grant and I will be seeing you either late Thursday or early Friday.

Cheers

Maybe your speedo is buggered, Phil :D

You are going across the bay, but its a long way by road?

I was going to wait to give you the answer
 
Hi All

Well I was going to wait until after the rally to give you the finial total, but as people are sending me e-mails saying they can't stand the suspense.

The simple answer is three CMPs over and back to the show plus a chase vehicle over and back each trip.

Now this doesn't count the extra trips back and forth to get the stuff I forgot.

Oh yes the speedo on one of the trucks is buggered, but it is the MPH part that is off. Works great 0-30 MPH but once up to 30 the truck keeps accelerating but the needle doesn't budge over 30.

Will post lots of photos of the show when I get back.

Now off to enjoy the smell of vintage canvas, all the different shades of OD and Desert Tan. Lots of talking MVs.

The show opens to the public on Thursday but club members have been arriving since Saturday.
