@Littlewhitedragonlet: Ah yeah, I used to do that a lot too, take shortcuts in the algebra. Most of my teachers were able to read between the lines and figure it out (or they were lazy graders and didn't read it, haha). But once I started teaching, I started showing all my steps for the benefit of my students, and that's stuck with me. It feels more complete to show everything :)
Your work looks great to me though. I'd give you an A if were still teaching xD

@Shadami: I understand :) I usually end up crashing after a hyper mood like that, it makes me feel exhausted when it's over :o
Ah I’ve missed a lot of questions. >3<
But I’ve never been good at math things.

Ping me for attention. I tend to wander.
You guys are good at this, well hey. Seems like we're getting close to fixing this thing. The ticking sounds right, now we just need to get the tocking in order.

@Theory: LOL thanks xD
aaaaa new problem O3O

If all of them walk at 15km/h and the bike only carries 2 people at a time, 1 person is always walking so the bike speed doesn't matter
so it becomes 300km/15kmh = 20 h
the minimum amount of time they can take is 20 hours
@littlewhitedragonlet: I Was Thinking That Too But.. Can It Really Be That Simple????
I'll sit and lurk around here and see what people has come up already with their solutions XD

Haha cheers to them! I'm here for the moral support part.
Math problems makes me dizzy XD
Okay...
Say the dodo takes the duck on the bike all the way to the end, meanwhile the eaglet begins on foot. Then the dodo rides back to pick the eaglet up.
In five hours, the dodo and duck reach the river. The eaglet has made it 75 km. The dodo begins riding back. There is a distance of 225 km between them now. After 3 hours, the dodo travels 60*3 = 180 km back, and the eaglet gets 15*3 = 45 km further. 180+45 = 225 so that's when they meet up. The dodo rides back with the eaglet in tow, that takes another 3 hours.
Total time is 5+3+3 = 11 hours. Is that the best we can do?

@XoGIZMOoX: Same.
I'm in turkey lurky mode right now. Admiring all the smartness that I was denied.
Hey guys. Back online :)
Still doing math problems?
You Think It Will Count If I Just Try To Draw It Out Instead Of Math It?
Cause. I Do Better With Visuals Lol.

Yep, the math wiz are now solving them XD
There is something haunting in the light of the moon;
It has all the dispassionateness of a disembodied soul, and something of its inconceivable mystery.

Lol Yeah I'm not too good at math either.
I'm in the car so when I get home I'll attempt it (if we are still on this one). But I haven't gotten a single one right yet xD

@Theory: you are so smart :D
currently: new novel who dis?

beanie doll! thank u cookie
@Miss Kitty: At least you understand well enough to attempt it.
Well they have to reach the river at the exact same time. So someone has to be walking the last hour at least.
If they all just walked it would be 20 hours >.<

Currently recovering from large amounts of PTSD. I'll post when I can, please ping for replies. Things are very difficult for me right now.
What if the dodo brought the duck almost to the river but not quite, and the dodo went back to pick up the eaglet and the duck just stood there and waited until they returned so they could all cross together? It would still be 11 hours. So I don't think the "at the same time" really matters.
