amistre64 · Answer

doesnt matter, einstein says time is not absolute, so we get to pick our own ... just as long as its 10 minutes from now ... or make that 9.32 minutes now

anonymous · Answer

Ok library closes at 2:00 then it makes 1:50 and at 1:55 I should be able to reach car

anonymous · Answer

Is he heading from his car to the library or from the library to the car? o.O im a little confused.

anonymous · Answer

Cause he is saying what time is it when he reaches his car, is he already at the library? if so, why does it matter that the library closes in 10 mins?

anonymous · Answer

I don't know all i made out was that maybe 423 is the distance between between him and the car and he goes to car

anonymous · Answer

then what you posted it correct :)

amistre64 · Answer

lol .... it mattered cause the library that i use to access the internet was closing in 10 minutes :)
