Waldo gets stopped by the police, and the police officer tells Waldo that she caught him on radar doing 50 miles per hour in a 40 miles per hour zone.

Waldo responds, " No way! I was traveling 50 miles per hour. I sat at home for 1 hour and then drove for 1 hour before you stopped me. I traveled 50 miles total in that second hour. So, my speed was 25 miles per hour. That's well under the speed limit."

Waldo is wrong, per speeding laws, and does receive a speeding ticket. Explain how Waldo came up with a speed of 25 miles per hour.

The correct answer is waldo believes that while he was sitting at home, he was traveling for an hour, which he believes is due to the earth's rotation, which he wants to qualify as travel. And so after he drove 50 miles in the second hour, he realized he had driven two hours total, so he calculated that 50 miles divided by two hours equaled 25 mph.
