The answer that the neopet's team posted for the last lenny conundrum, is wrong!

The correct answer is 125, but they are saying it is 175!

The question about the acara and the pawkeet. The acara travels at 10 mph over 50 miles, so it takes him five hours to travel. This mean the pawkeet was in flight for five hours, at 25 mph, so it covered 125 miles, NOT 175!

I reported it to them, but more reports would be helpful. For once I get it right, and ... arg!

Actually, you forgot to add the original 50 miles. 175 s the correct answer.

The trip alone was 50 miles. Read it next time.

The Staff....is never wrong, young one. *Looks over his shoulder*
Yeah, you forgot to add the first 50.

Neo may not have been wrong this time, but *never*? Pfft...

Sssh...the walls have ears.
*Narrows eyes*

i usually get them right - its just you need to be one of the first 100... out of about 10 million users =\

I got it wrong also because I was so busy thinking about the return trip that I forget to add the 50 miles that he traveled to Meridell. If you check the question carefully it asks for the total miles the bird made on the entire trip--not just the miles on the return trip.

The Neopets Team wasn't wrong, they were just sneaky!

EDIT: And for all of those Neopets team lurkers out there, it would be so nice if instead of just giving the answer, you also gave an explanation as to how you got the answer. I mean, really, how hard could that be? An extra 2 minutes of typing? It would really help a lot of the users figure out how they got an answer wrong. Just my two cents, natch!

Eh. Well, basically we got an answer to your question, and for further refs this kinda topic should go into the Neo Help board.
