Problem Four: Road Trip
Nov 16th, 2006 by Allen
Melissa sat in the office of Detective Sing.
“I met a man yesterday,” she said. “He’s trying to raise funds for Kids with Cancer by driving non-stop around Australia. He says he did it last year; drove to all the Australian Capitals in two and a half weeks. He says that he wants to try and break that record this year, and that if he does, the Australian Government will give a $10,000 donation to the charity. The only problem is that he needs funds to pay for the car, petrol and food. He’s asked me for an initial donation of $2,000. What should I do? Should I give it to him?”
Detective Sing paused for a moment. “You could give him the money,” he said. “But I don’t think it will help the charity.”
Why?
just a thought.
maybe you could rent a car with 2000 dollars..
but with driving non-stop, gasoline will eat up most of the money.. dunno .. don’t know the price of gasoline in australia.
There is only 1 capital of Austrailia
Key :
“He says he did it last year; drove to all the Australian Capitals in two and a half weeks”
This feat is not possible unless he has a car that is able to travel underwater. This is because Hobart, the capital of Tasmania,in Australia, is located on an island.
