Puzzle 3: Two buses and a bee
Bus 1 is leaving San Jose for LA, and bus 2 is leaving LA for San Jose at the same time. Bus 1 travels at 50 miles an hour and Bus 2 at 35 miles an hour. A bee sitting on Bus 1 at the start keeps flying from Bus 1 to Bus 2 to Bus 1 etc. at 70 miles an hour. If LA and San Jose are 500 miles apart, how far will the bee have flown when the 2 buses cross each other?
