THE TWO TRAINS.

(Money Puzzles)
I put this little question to a stationmaster, and his correct answer
was so prompt that I am convinced there is no necessity to seek talented
railway officials in America or elsewhere.
Two trains start at the same time, one from London to Liverpool, the
other from Liverpool to London. If they arrive at their destinations one
hour and four hours respectively after passing one another, how much
faster is one train running than the other?


Answer:

One train was running just twice as fast as the other.
