A train travels from New York to Chicago, a distance of approximately 840 miles, at an average rate of 60 miles per hour and arrives in Chicago at 7:00 in evening, Chicago time. At what hour in the morning, New York time, did the train depart for Chicago? (Note : Chicago time is one hour earlier than New York time)
[ "4:00", "3:00", "6:00", "5:00" ]

What is the sum of all possible solutions to |x - 3|^2 + |x - 3| = 20 ?
[ "7", "12", "6", "-1" ]
C
First of all |x - 3|^2 = (x - 3)^2, so we have: (x - 3)^2 + |x - 3| = 20. When x < 3, x - 3 is negative, thus |x - 3| = -(x - 3). In this case we'll have (x - 3)^2 - (x - 3) = 20 --> x = -1 or x = 8. Discard x = 8 because it's not in the range we consider (< 3). When x >= 3, x - 3 is non-negative, thus |x - 3| = x - 3....
