    The Question
    The Petpet Supplies shop is 655 metres from the Smoothie Store, 393 Metres from the Defence Magic shop, and 314 metres from the Grooming Parlour. The Defence Magic shop is 236 metres from the Grooming Parlour and 524 metres from the Smoothie Store.

    Assuming the distance between the Grooming Parlour and the Smoothie Store is less than the distance between the Petpet Supplies shop and the Smoothie Store, what is the distance between the Grooming Parlour and the Smoothie Store? Please round to the nearest metre.

    The Facts
    • PPS to SS - 655m
    • PPS to DMS - 393m
    • PPS to GP - 314m
    • DMS to GP - 236m
    • DMS to SS - 524m
    • GP to SS < PSS to SS


    The Math
    Substitute with the Following Variables
    DMS - w
    PPS - x
    SS - y
    GP - z

    Good job on solving the Lenny Conundrum this week. I was too lazy to work on it for myself :p. I might eventually work on one so I can get the avatar, but I'm waiting for an easy one.
