Yep. 1.875 h, provided the question is phrased as follows:

If I can paint a house in 3 hours and you can paint the same house in 5 hours, how long will it take us to paint it together.

Quote from ngkh:



Tom Cruise flies his F14 from Hollywood at Mach 2.5 to battle it out with The Red Baron coming in from Berlin at, well you know the speed ! As they pass each other, who's further from Hollywood ?

They are both, the same distance away from Hollywood at the point where they pass each other.

Achtung ! Smartie.

Brothers and Sisters have I none.
But that man's father is my father's son.
Who am I ?

You are the father. "That man" is your son.

Quote from Clubber Lang:

Question-

Stock_trad3r blew out his $3000 Ameritrade account buying mega beta stocks at their 2007 highs. If he averages $.70 cents a week from each of the 200 houses on his paper route, how long would he need to continue being a paperboy in order to refund his account?

Forever, the newspaper went out of business and Stock trader could figure that out. You two will have to stop delivering papers together, too.
