Boy Cruz, I hope the question isn’t “How long would it take to go 100 miles?” you’ll be on that train for ahh… Umm… Hold on, I’m going to the Amtrak station!
Did he get on a train to solve the math problem? How would he know how fast the train is going or how far it has traveled? Quite a stretch if that is the joke.
