If a man has to leave home at 11:00 a.m. and return home by 1:00 p.m., and he can travel at a maximum of 50 miles per hour, a point 50 miles away would be unreachable by 11:30 a.m.


He could arrive at that point at noon, but would have no time to stay, since he was exactly on the outermost extent of his space allowed by time, and would have to immediately turn back.


However, if he traveled at 100 miles per hour (say, with a REALLY FAST CAR), the point would easily be reachable by 11:30 a.m. Instead of having to immediately turn back, he could stay at that station for a full hour before leaving, amounting to a significant savings of time.
