Question

I need help ASAP! All help is appreciated:)

Waldo gets stopped by the police, and the police officer tells Waldo that she caught him on radar doing 50 miles per hour in a 40 miles per hour zone. Waldo responds, "No way! I was traveling 50 miles per hour. I sat at home for 1 hour and then drove for 1 hour before you stopped me. I traveled 50 miles total in that second hour. So, my speed was 25 miles per hour. That's well under the speed limit." Waldo is wrong, per speeding laws, and does receive a speeding ticket. Explain how Waldo came up with a speed of 25 miles per hour.​

Answer 1

This is my theory:
Waldo is convinced that while he was sitting at home, he was travelling for 1 hour, this may be because the earth is spinning and he wants to classify it as travelling.
(I don’t know about the whole ‘earth spinning’ theory).
And that when he travelled 50 miles in the second hour, it became that he had travelled two hours in total, so he thought he could do 50 miles divided by 2 hours and so he gets 25 mph.
