The Harvard Bridge and the Longfellow Bridge are one mile apart. The MIT crew team starts rowing upstream at the Longfellow. As the crew passes under the Harvard, the coxswain’s neoprene visor falls into the river. Exactly 10 minutes later, the coxswain notices, turns the boat around instantaneously and has the crew row back to get it, rowing at the same constant rate as they had rowed previously (but this time with the current rather than against it). By the time the team reaches the visor, they are back at the Longfellow Bridge. How fast is the river flowing?
