Two trains, each having a speed of 30 km/h, are headed at each other on the same straight track. A bird that can fly 60 km/h flies off the front of one train when they are 60 km apart and heads directly for the other train. On reaching the other train, the bird flies directly back to the first train, and so forth. (We have no idea why a bird would behave in this way.) What is the total distance the bird travels before the trains collide?

Yes, THAT is the question! А два поезда, несущиеся навстречу друг другу по прямой - это данность, блин.

On the other hand, this is another problem I am ready to argue the algorithm of even with my professors. Nobody will teach me wrong physics! ><' Ah, this feeling <3

Нужно уточнить, что это одна из самых простых задач в учебнике. Не домашнее задание, к сожалению XD Прикольно было бы, если б на экзамене дали, но что-то меня пробирают сомнения(
