Mr Lee reaches the letter box when he has covered half the

Jackie T, Chard TA20:
If you ignore the bumps, the graph gets gradually flatter.
So Mr Lee's average speed gets gradually slower.
Pupils from Holgate Comprehensive School, Hucknall, Nottinghamshire:
2.5 blocks of time, outbound. This is faster than 3.5 blocks of
time, inbound.
