Clue
THIS POINT MAINTAINS A CONSTANT SPEED, INDEPENDENT OF THE LENGHT OF THE SHADOW
THE JOGGER, BECAUSE THE DIFFERENCE IN SPEED IS GREATER BETWEEN THE JOGGER AND BIKE RIDER THAN THE CAR AND THE BIKE RIDER
THE STATION CLOCK IS 3 MINUTES FAST. THE MORNING JOURNEY TOOK 65 MINUTES, AND THE EVENING JOURNEY THEREFORE TOOK 52 MINUTES, AND THE TRAIN ARRIVED 57 MINUTES AFTER IT SHOULD HAVE LEFT, THAT IS, 3 MINUTES EARLY
INFINITY! TECHNICALLY YOU WILL NEVER REACH THE DOOR, AS YOU CAN ONLY MOVE HALF THE DISTANCE, NO MATTER HOW SMALL
