@Kristian: I was thinking that if you slowed down time you’d get more time to think out the answer. But that would mean it would take longer before the trains would collide and the question gets remade >_<
Sorry, I think this joke has been really overdone lately…
The trains will collide in twelve minutes, 14 miles from where Train A currently is (and 12 miles from where Train B currently is).
(Sorry, was out of postcards.)

@SilverDSlite: Zelda? I’m confused.

Miles per Hour?
What kind of European are you?
-an American
In the UK, most people still use miles per hour for speeds, unless it’s in a scientific setting.
