There are 10 teams registered to run the Jr. Iditarod.  The Jr. Iditarod begins on the last Saturday of February.  The honorary musher will wear bib #1.  The competing mushers will wear bibs 2 through 11.  Bib #2 will leave the start at exactly 10:00 am.  Teams will follow at two-minute intervals.  What time will the musher wearing bib #11 take off?

Now try this on a bigger scale.  There are 47 teams signed up to run Iditarod XLIX.  The honorary musher will wear bib #1.  The competing mushers will wear bibs 2 through 48.  Bib #2 will leave the Deshka Landing start at exactly 2:00 pm. Teams will follow at two-minute intervals.  What time will the final musher, wearing bib #48 depart?

I’ll post the answer and another challenge problem in two days.  Please come back for another race challenge.
