⟩ Suppose A sheep farmer has to get to his herd of sheep quickly as he has been told they are being attacked by a dog. His sheep are on the other side of a steep hill. He can run over the hill (2 miles) at 3 miles an hour, or take his tractor via an old dirt track which is 5 miles at an average of 6 miles an hour or he can drive his Land Rover along a very narrow winding road but this is 12 miles and he can only go at 16 miles an hour on average?
Running 2 miles at 3 mph takes 40 minutes
Driving the tractor for 5 miles at 6 mph takes 50 minutes
Driving the Land Rover for 12 miles at 16 mph takes 45 minutes
Therefore he should run.
