Riddle

The marathon man timed himself and found out that if he wore a bright white outfit he ran 20 miles in 80 minutes, but when he wore a dark outfit, he ran 20 miles in one hour and twenty minutes. What does this mean for his next race?

Choose an answer

A.He should wear white for a faster time
B.He should switch outfits mid-race
C.Dark outfits slow him down
D.Absolutely nothing, as 80 minutes equals an hour and twenty minutes.
Hint: It's a 10-word phrase with 54 letters, starting with "A".

Answer

Absolutely nothing, as 80 minutes equals an hour and twenty minutes.

Why this is the answer

80 minutes and "one hour and twenty minutes" are the exact same duration, so the outfit made no real difference.
