Dad has set me this puzzle as a parting gift.

If a car is travelling at a steady 60mph and a train is also travelling at a steady 60mph, both are the same distance away from a junction where the road crosses the track at a right angle. There are no under or over passes.

How does the driver make it safely across ?

Any ideas ?

The car is not on the road.

Ok I now have the answer and knew, somehow, that my 72 year old dad had stuffed it up somewhere along the lines.

The question should have been 'How did the driver get across?'

Answer, when the car smashed into the train, the car driver died and he got 'a cross' on his headstone !!

Remind me never to talk to my dad again

see Soapy, I knew he'd prove you wrong. I'm nice to him for a day, even managed to ignore the 15 comments when OH came home of 'the breadwinners home', 'the man who pays all your bills is home' etc and in return he gives me that puzzle. :o

I will enjoy taking him to the airport tomorrow. :whistle:

Could have been worse, he could have not told me the answer although I can't believe any of you actually lost sleep :rolleyes:

He didn't make it and got a cross.
