Re: Questions for people who know everything

Here we go

Mrs Stover leaves her home at 7 am to catch the train into town, the train ride takes 45 minutes.

Mr. Watson works in town and never takes the train, but it also takes him 45 minutes to get to work.

Sharon hasnt had a job in 8 months and spends 45 minutes daily reading the want ads.


Now for the question.

Where does Mrs. Abernathy get her dry cleaning done?
