Not impressed so far. Could you explain why the slow boat hasn't covered 2250m by the second meeting point? Could you explain why the slower boat hasn't travelled 650m further than the river width by the second meeting point? Yes. And don't forget that 1000m + 600m = river width of 1600m...

Just one question - do you mean "...top and left hand..."? __________________ P is at 11 blocks south, 3 blocks east.

For anyone who was wondering, I've had a message from Nige, and he's fine.

You can fool yourself, but you're not fooling anyone else. Now try backpedalling on one of these:

Nonsense. I've seen plenty of tilers who rely on PVA, and I just have a quiet smile to myself. Thorough and competent people are thorough and competent. It has nothing to do with being a plumber/tiler or a tiler who's incapable of doing plumbing. ;)

Thanks, but it was addressed when I was about 8. You must really be desperate to find fault if such a petty instance of human error is the best you can come up with. I note that you haven't shown your simple solution yet. :D

Yes, but please create a new topic. :(

If you're asking if I was right with my assertion that there was not enough information, then no. If you're asking if I was right with my claim that holmslaw was wrong, then yes. If you're asking if I was right with my answer of 1000m, then no. If you're asking if I was right with my...

I take your point, and I'll answer in the context of this topic: This customer must have found out that the workmanship is bad, or he/she wouldn't be posting here. We don't know whether this arose intuitively, or as a result of a third party being shocked by the standard of the work. Indeed...

Quality of workmanship has nothing to do with CORGI. Consumer legislation requires that work is carried out with reasonable skill and care, and for a reasonable price. This installer wouldn't have a leg to stand on if you got litigious, but to get your money back you'd have to appear in...

Hmm, wise he is.

I have done Rob, but was also asking if anyone on here knew anything.

Surely that answer would have marks deducted for unnecessary working? :D

:roll: Quite right. The vital piece of information, that I initially thought was missing, was there all along. This was the relative speed of the boats. Since the distance travelled is known, albeit algebraically, and the is known to be a constant, then the relative speeds are also known...

Hm. I feel that you're driving a supercharged juggernaut full of ideas in the opposite direction to my gentle amble. Firstly, and putting firmly to one side your "it stands to reason" manifesto, you've written the following: If the slower boat travels 650m from its starting point before...
