Statement Problem:
Part One: If at 12:20 Passenger A asks the Super Shuttle dispatcher how soon the downtown van will arrive and his answer is 5 or 10 minutes, what should Passenger A do?
Part Two: If the Shuttle finally picks Passenger A up at 12:50 from Terminal 1, how long will it take for her to arrive at her hotel which is 18 miles from LAX?
Please take into consideration that LA freeways are usually parking lots. (Google Maps hedges by saying that it is 22 minutes or 40 in traffic. Duh!)
If your answer is, take a cab the next time, give yourself 100 bonus points.
Yes, I saw Terminals 1-6 twice before we finally got on the freeway which did resemble a parking lot. Fortunately, we were in the car pool lane until we had to leave it in order to exit downtown. Then even tho I knew we were within a block of my hotel four times, I was the last one to be dropped off.
From the time I approached the dispatcher until I walked into my hotel, two hours had elapsed.
Yes, I will be taking a cab on Sunday.

ReplyDeleteSounds like the story problem from Hell. Hope the deluge doesn't follow you to the other coast. Maybe Sunday traffic will be better. Or then again, maybe Sunday's story problem could be, how much will the fare be if the taxi charges x cents a minute and the airport is 18 miles from the hotel and ...
