In other words, if you takeoff from airport "A" and fly 200 miles into a 20 mph headwind to airport "B" at 100 mph (TAS) and then turn around and fly back to airport "A" now with a 20 mph tailwind at the same TAS will you complete the roundtrip flight in the same time as if you had made the flight in no-wind conditions? Okay, I'll bite. Looks like the no-wind solution is 4 hours, the headwind/tailwind solution is 4.17 hours. Just in case I win, I prefer Lagavulin 16. I'll skip the seegar. Al Gerharter was the first to answer correctly, but disqualified himself by admitting that he's an old hand instructor so it looks like you won indeed. Congratulations! A large bucket of Lagavulin 16 is on the way...
