An excellent swimmer is confident he can judge his speed in the water exactly. He bets he can swim two lengths of a 50-meter Olympic size pool at an average speed of precisely 2 meters per second. On his first lane he is a little bit slow and ends up going at 1.5 meters per second. Which average speed does he have to reach on his second lane to win the bet?

The time needed at 2 meters per second for both rounds would be 100/2 s or 50 seconds. For the first lane he already used 50/1.5 -> 33.33 seconds, so he would need to cover the other 50 meters in exactly 16.67. 50m divided by the 16.67 seconds he has left means he has to swim at a speed of 3 meters per second.
