You win as far as not being incorrect. But that is different from being exactly accurate. We will lock you in as a runner up

Not a riddle... a math problem. Ah, I see Rigel is on line. He is now a big favorite too.

OK. here's an exotic one:
You are walking over a narrow railroad trestle.
You are 3/8 across the trestle, and you hear a train coming.
If you go back to the beginning of the trestle, you will get hit by the train right at the first tie. If you go to the end of the trestle, you will get hit by the train at the last tie. You are walking at 8 mph. How fast is the train going?
