A WALKING MATCH.

32. T bets D he can walk 7 miles to his 6 for any time or distance;

so they agree to walk a certain distance, starting from opposite

points. T starts from point M to walk to N. D starts from N and walks

to M. They both started at the same moment, and met at a spot 10

miles nearer to N than M. T arrives at N in 8 hours, and D arrives at

M in 12½ hours after meeting. Who wins the wager? How far from M

to N? And find the pace at which each walked?
