Fast train to
Clarksville!
Mr. Moody grumbles about bad time-keeping trains from
morning till night!.
On one particular morning he was quiet justified.
His train left on time for the one hour journey, to
Clarksville, and it arrived 5 minutes late.
However, Mr. Moody 's watch showed it to be 3 minutes
early, so he adjusted his watch by putting it forward 3
minutes.
His watch kept time during the day, and on the return
journey in the evening the train started on time,
according to his watch, and arrived on time, according
to the station clock.
If the train travelled 25 percent faster on the return
journey than it did on the morning journey, was the
station clock fast or slow, and by how much?

The answer is:
The station
clock is 3 minutes fast.
The morning journey took 65 minutes, and the evening
journey therefore took 52 minutes, and the train arrived
57 minutes after it should have left, that is, 3 minutes
early.
