Samia set off on her bicycle to visit her friend, traveling at an average speed of 17 kilometers per hour. When she had gone half the distance to her friend's house, a tire went flat, and she walked the rest of the way at 5 kilometers per hour. In all it took her 44 minutes to reach her friend's house. In kilometers rounded to the nearest tenth, how far did Samia walk?

For a positive integer n, the factorial notation n! represents the product of the integers from n to 1. For example, 6! = 6*5*4*3*2*1 = 720. What value of N satisfies the following equation?

5! * 9! = 12! * N!

A power boat and a raft both left dock A on a river and headed downstream. The raft drifted at the speed of the river current. The power boat maintained a constant speed with respect to the river. The power boat reached dock B downriver, then immediately turned and traveled back upriver. It eventually met the raft on the river 9 hours after leaving dock A. How many hours did it take the power boat to go from A to B?

Two trains are on the same line, 100 miles apart, heading towards each other, each traveling at 25 mph. A fly that can travel at 60mph leaves one engine flying towards the other. Upon reaching the other engine, it instantaneously turns around, and heads back to the other engine. This is repeated until the two trains crash and the fly is squashed at the same time. How far does the fly travel before it is "splatted"?

There is an old car that needs to go up and down a hill. The hill is 1 mile going up, and since the car is old, it can only travel up the hill at 15 mph. The hill is also 1 mile going down. What is the needed speed for the car to go down the hill such that the car speed averages 30 mph for the 2 mile trip?

Abby, Bernardo, Carl, and Debra play a game in which each of them starts with four coins. The game consists of four rounds. In each round, four balls are placed in an urn---one green, one red, and two white. The players each draw a ball at random without replacement. Whoever gets the green ball gives one coin to whoever gets the red ball. What is the probability that, at the end of the fourth round, each of the players has four coins?

Cheryl then tells Albert and Bernard separately the month and the day of her birthday respectively.

Albert: I don’t know when Cheryl’s birthday is, but I know that Bernard does not know too.

Bernard: At first I don’t know when Cheryl’s birthday is, but I know now.

Albert: Then I also know when Cheryl’s birthday is.
