Ahh, haven’t seen this in a long time.
Though you kinda have to give to her, that her initial guesstimate was 58 minutes. That’s just 3.3% error, not bad considering the ridiculous way she arrived at that number. Maybe she’s really good at estimates but can’t do any precise math. She might even be an engineer.

Based on the title, it seeks like the question was 80 mph. Not 60

Think about this really hard again.

Getting to recreate the video in the comments really is special.

You’re right, it would take an hour to go 60 miles at 60mph. Try the math again with 80 miles at 80mph.

I did. 58/80 != ~3%

If you’re traveling 80 miles PER HOUR, you will travel 80 miles in an hour, or 60 minutes. She guessed 58 minutes.
