Mathematicians like to know if a statement is ‘sometimes, always or never true’. Let’s find out, by generalising the formula. I’d say that your intuition is correct, and that taking the average will always work. Thank you for sharing your thinking 🙂

Consider a journey where we travel outbound on Monday and return on Friday. T + D = 6, so D = 6 - T T - D = 2, so D = T - 2 As D=D, 6 - T = T - 2 Add T to both sides, gives us 6 = 2T - 2 Add 2 to both sides, gives us 8 = 2T Divide both sides by 2, gives us 4 = T A one-way journey is 4 hours.

You could use simultaneous equations to find the length of the journey. A slightly different problem below. I wonder if ChatGPT will still need to deduce the time difference first 🤔

Imagine you go on a fictitious international train journey between the UK and Country X. Assume there is only one station in each country.

Monday: UK → Country X

Departs: 10:30am (UK time)
Arrives: 4:30pm (Country X time)

Monday: Country X → UK

Departs: 4:30pm (Country X time)
Arrives: 6:30pm (UK time)

The time difference between the UK and Country X is always the same. The journey takes the same amount of time in both directions.

How long is the journey?

The Mystery of the Missing Percentage Sign @annlovesmaths.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

I gave this question to ChatGPT. It tells me that you’ll need to deduce the time difference before you can determine the journey time 🤔 Can you solve it without knowing the time difference? Let me know in the comments.

In "broken calculator" style, find angle x, but your sin button is bust. Tried a few of these types of questions with Y10 earlier this week. #MathsToday

A right angled triangle with hypotenuse 14 m and short leg 6 m. The angle between the hypotenuse and other (unlabeled) short leg is x.

I'm enormously happy to finally be able to announce the date of the #BeachSpectres project: 7th June, 2026. #WhitleyBay beach, UK. If you can make it to the beach and join in with the tiling effort, I'll be very happy to see you and glad of the help! Lots […] [Original post on mathstodon.xyz]

Poster: Beach Spectres, we want to make the largest aperiodic tiling ever!
What's an aperiodic tiling?
It's when you cover a ﬂat surface with copies of a shape like the one above,
without any repeating patterns. The Spectre monotile was only discovered in
2023, and mathematicians are really excited about it!
What are you doing?
We're going to use large “cookie cutter” tools in the shape of the Spectre to
cover the beach with the aperiodic tiling.
You can help: come to the beach and we'll show you what to do.
Where and when?
Whitley Bay beach, 7th June 2026.
Come and join in, just watch, or talk to some very
enthusiastic mathematicians!
