Its a sunny afternoon, about 23?C, and you are
walking around Lake Calhoun enjoying the last of
your summer vacation. The sidewalk is crowded
with runners and walkers. You notice a runner
approaching you wearing a tee-shirt with writing
on it. You read the first two lines but are
unable to read the third before he passes. You
wonder, Hmm, if he continues around the lake, I
bet Ill see him again, but I should anticipate
the time well pass again. You look at your
watch and notice it is 307 P.M. You recall that
the lake is 5.47 km in circumference. You
estimate your walking speed at 5 km/hr and the
runners speed to be about 11 km/hr. When will
you see that T-shirt again?
