Maths Puzzle
Two planes are travelling towards eachother.
Each is travelling at 800mph.
When the planes are 500 miles apart, one fires a rocket at the other, which travels at 2000mph.
When the missile reaches the other plane, electronics on the plane send it hurtling back towards its launcher, until it reaches there and similar electronics send it back again.
This continues until the two planes collide.
How far does the missile travel?
Noone who sees how to do this puzzle easily is allowed to post in this thread.
