Two trains are traveling along the same track toward each other. The slow train is going at 20 mph while the fast one is traveling at 60 mph. The trains are 40 miles apart. A fly, starts flying from the tip of the fast train, going at 80 mph. It flies until it reaches the slow train, the turns around and flies back, over and over. Assuming the fly can reverse its direction instantaneously, what is the distance the fly will have covered by the time it is crushed between the two trains?
