The Fly and The Trains - Solution
The solution is wrong cuz trains are moving, so distance will be shorter.
You are talking about this page: The Fly and The Trains - Solution
I think it is right (of course), does anyone else think it is right or wrong?

the solution is correct.

the distance has nothing to do with the solution. Just the time and the flies speed?

I think tanya is talking about Lorentz transforms where things change length based on speed, especially as you get closer to the speed of light.

...but in that case, it would make sense for the question to ask for the distance traveled in some frame of reference (ie of the fly, of the ground etc) and it doesn't. Also, at 50 and 75 km/hr, relativistic effects are small to say the least.
