Puzzle 4
Last week I drove from Aardvark to Beeville.
On the first day, I travelled 1/3 of the starting distance.
On day two, I travelled 1/2 of the remaining distance.
On day three, I travelled 2/3 of the remaining distance.
At the end of day four, after travelling 3/4 of the remaining distance, I was still 5 miles away from Beeville.
How many miles had I travelled so far?
