Each official has covered 32.67% of the workload. The official in the 3 crews had covered less of the total load, but not 1/3 less (that would have been 30%). Now, the amount of running does decrease too, but not by 1/3....maybe 1/6.

Let's put a new twist on this. The 2-crew rides to the game on a train traveling 50 m.p.h, leaving New York at 10:00 a.m. The 3-crew rides to the same site on a train, traveling 60 m.p.h., leaving Chicago at 11:00 a.m. on the same day, and date. The distance between Chicago and New York is 795 miles. They get to the site at the same time. Where is the site?
