yeah the displacement is obviously not 0 but as always with these kinds of problems, the actual problem is trying to parse the english

you cant use an algorithm to solve it because we don't know the actual speed of the bee, we just know that it's greater than the speed of sound. so it's only possible to solve if it's a trick question.

well yeah its obviously a trick question with some sort of dumb answer so let's just go with 0

it says the bee starts on the train, but it doesn't say WHERE on the train or if hes inside the train. if hes inside how does he get out? is a window open? how does a bee ask someone to open a door or a window? i don't think he weighs enough to pull the emergency brake thing but maybe he could construct a lever somehow. what could a bee use to make a lever and how much force does the emergency brake require? but if he uses the emergency brake then the train isn't moving anymore and the trains will not meet in the middle so clearly the answer is 0 cause the bee has to stop the train to get out and at that point the trains will never meet.

also do you have to factor in movement of the train after it is slammed into by the other train or are there similar bees with similar levers on the other train?

oh maybe the bee chases someone and they pull the brake and open the door to get away from the bee.

traveling at supersonic speed would kill the bee. the distance is negligible

if we knew the type of bee we could probably find its average flight speed

the q says theyll meet in the middle tho and it wants to know how far the bee goes before they do meet in the middle

The bee will be flying for one hour (the amount of time it takes the trains to crash) so assuming the bee can turn around instantly it'll travel (the bee's speed)*1 hour total distance, or alternatively 100 miles displacement. Since we don't know the bee's speed we can't give a precise answer for the total distance. The real question is, can a bee fly at supersonic speeds at all? Even if the bee is Goku I think the way that the aerodynamics might make supersonic flight impossible.

heres a better programming question: You are the designer of a train and have been asked by a train operator to add a bee-pressable door button to your current production train line. How will your sales team oversell the bee-button and what should you design into your train to prepare for the most likely feature changes/requests that will occur over the work order?

Some acceptable answers tho there is obviously no correct answer: The sales team will tell them there will also be a separate, bee specific door that is opened by the button. The client will expect the button to also be pressable by wasps even though its not in the requirements.

Given the bee starts on train1 and ends on train1 (we can assume given train2 meets train1 head on), it will have travelled 0m in total and would end in the same position by not flying at all

given the size of the universe, the distance the bee moves is effectively 0

also the bee doesn't exist because statistically the universe is 100% hydrogen

He then later said he loved meeting me and thought I was great but ~"NOT QUITE WHAT THEY WANTED~" Welp. gently caress bees btw.
