an hour. They agreed to ride

until all met at the center, from which they started, for the fourth time. The distance round
each circle was exactly one-third of a mile. When did they finish their ride?

14. A cube is cut in two equal parts along a plane parallel to one of its faces. One piece is then
coloured red on the two larger faces and green on the remaining, while the other is coloured green
