From David: There are three towns A,B,and C, equi-distant apart.
A car is 3 miles from town A, and 4 miles from town B.
(ie, somehwere outside of the triangle which the three towns form)
What is the maximum distance that the car can be from town A?
This was asked as quiz question in my local pub last Sunday.
The answer is 7. How do I prove it?
