The 4:00 Meeting

 

The 4:00 Meeting


Tom and Bill are standing at two places on a straight road.

Tom starts walking toward Bill and arrives at Bill’s original

place 11 minutes after Bill had left.  At perhaps a different

time, Bill starts walking toward Tom and arrives at Tom’s

original place 15 minutes after Tom had left.  When each

reaches the other’s original place, he immediately turns and

starts back, and they meet in the center at 4:00.  Assuming

that they walked at constant (but not necessarily the same)

rates, when did each start to travel on the road?
