Albert and Fernandes have two leg swimming race. Both start from opposite ends of the pool. On the first leg, the boys pass each other at 18 m from the deep end of the pool. During the second leg they pass at 10 m from the shallow end of the pool. Both go at constant speed but one of them is faster. Each boy rests for 4 seconds at the end of the first leg. What is the length of the pool?
How deep is the pool at the deep end? You see, I tend to get a bit sacared when I'm swimming in deep water and speed up a bit, so it may be the case for these guys.
This could affect my answer dramatically.
