THE oRDERLY,s RIDE.

SEATTLE, Aug. 81, 1894
To THE EDTroR: A column OF soldiers Is
one mile long. An officer at the rear
sends an orderly with a message to the
officer at its head just as the column starts
10 move forward. The column moves one
mile. The orderly delivers the message,
returns and meets the officer at the rear
just as the column has moved one mile
They each travel at Uniform rate OF
speed How far must the orderly travel
TEACHER
THE problem is susceptible of several
solutions, owing to the fact that no rate OF
speed is given for either the courier or the
army. The gentleman who first presented
the problem claimed that the courier
travelled two miles, on the assumption that
he travelled twice as fast as the army; but
this solution was contested, and the pre-
ferred answer is that the courier Travelled
2 4l4 plus miles. This answer is obtained
without any assumption OF the rate of
speed, as follows: Let plus 2x equal the
distance travelled by the courier, which
distance he travelled while the army
moved one mile. Hence Z = )equals /
plus Z: plus * superior equals plus
Z, or * superior 2 equals i. and will
equal .707 plus miles. That is, the army
will have travelled .707 plus miles while the
courier travelled LT07 plus miles. While
the army travels / mile, the courier will,
therefore, have travelled 2.4l4 plus miles.
which is the correct solution.
