Summary[edit]

Description
English: How fast is the car going, and how far apart are the two banks? Assume that the snapshots were taken on the same day along a more-or-less straight road, that the units are minutes:seconds, and that the bank-clocks and car-timer were working well.

Added notes[edit]

x-cτ for constant speeders.

Caution: One might require a relatively long straight road in order for this to occur in practice as shown. There are, however, science-fiction worlds (like ring-worlds and Dyson-spheres) that would likely have many places for roads like this to be built.
