Question
The Wild Bunch are gunslingers and bank robbers. They are camped out, hidden in a valley. However, the local town knows where they are hiding, and send out bounty hunters as well as Apache Native Americans to catch the Wild Bunch.The bounty hunters, who are 80 miles away, chase them in wagons which travel 20 miles per hour.The Apache can travel faster as they are on horseback. They can travel at 30 miles per hour, but they are 20 miles further away than the bounty hunters are.Who will reach the Wild Bunch first?
Solution
To determine who will reach the Wild Bunch first, we need to calculate the time it will take for both the bounty hunters and the Apache Native Americans to reach the Wild Bunch.
First, let's calculate the time for the bounty hunters: They are 80 miles away and travel at 20 miles per hour. Time = Distance / Speed Time for bounty hunters = 80 miles / 20 miles per hour = 4 hours
Next, let's calculate the time for the Apache: They are 100 miles away (80 miles + 20 miles) and travel at 30 miles per hour. Time for Apache = 100 miles / 30 miles per hour = 3.33 hours
Therefore, the Apache Native Americans will reach the Wild Bunch first.

The following passage is adapted from Ernest Hemingway's short story "A Pursuit Race."William Campbell had been in a pursuit race with a carnival show ever since Pittsburgh. In a pursuit race in bicycle racing, riders start at equal intervals to ride after one another. They ride very fast because the race is usually limited to a short distance and if they slow their riding another rider who maintains his pace will make up the space that separated them equally at the start. As soon as a rider is caught and passed he is out of the race and must get down from his bicycle and leave the track. If none of the riders are caught the winner of the race is the one who has gained the most distance. In most pursuit races, if there are only two riders, one of the riders is caught within six miles.
