Question

Frodo runs a 250 meter course in 50 seconds.Gandalf runs a 300 meter course in 60 seconds. Samwise runs a 900 meter course in 180 seconds. Which fellow is the fastest?

Answer 1

Divide all the distances by their times, speed = distance/time.
250/50 = 5m/s 
300/60 = 5m/s
900/180 = 5m/s 
It's a trick question, as none of them ran faster than the others.
