A hiker walking at a constant rate of 4 miles per hour is passed by a cyclist traveling in the same direction along the same path at a constant rate of 20 miles per hour. The cyclist stops to wait for the hiker 5 minutes after passing her, while the hiker continues to walk at her constant rate. How many minutes must the cyclist wait until the hiker catches up? 答案是20 何解啊？？？

楼主这道题问的好，我感觉这是语言陷阱的一个典型形式。我感觉其实问题可能出在这句话The cyclist stops to wait for the hiker 5 minutes after passing her。我一开始也以为是，骑自行车的人在超过走路的人后停下来等他5分钟，这样这道题就没法做了。我自己分析了这句话，才明白意思是，这个骑自行车的人在超过走路人后的5分钟后停下来等他。这样就对了。 做法我想楼主一定能解出来。嘿嘿！
