Епиграф

Squamps are hunted from the inside only.

Условие

Suggest the methods and measure the speed of a metro electric train midway between two stations. The same is to be done for a bus in which you are going, if there are no reliable distance signs on the route.

Note [13]

The station names were specified in the problems for the Correspondence Round [Kvant 1988]: “Suggest methods and measure the speed of an underground train between the stations Universitet and Prospekt Vernadskogo (it is for the Muscovites.)” The entire problem reads shorter in the 1990 Czech and Slovak, and even more shortened in 1996 Czech and in both English translations: “Underground. Determine the speed of the underground train between two stations” [RMF 1990], [TMF 1996] and “Metro. Determine the speed of the train between two metro stations” [Kluiber 1996], [Proceedings 2006]
