Two planes take off at the same exact moment. They are
flying across the Atlantic. One leaves New York and is
flying to Paris at 500 miles per hour. The other leaves
Paris and is flying to New York at only 450 miles per hour (
because of a strong head wind ).
Which one will be closer to Paris when they meet?

Answer #3 is partially right. By implying they are in the same place, it technically cannot be the EXACT same place, or they'd have crashed. For this reason you have to take into consideration the altitude the two aircrafts are flying at: the closer to the ground, the closer to the city.
However, the wind and the route are irrelevant because they would find themselves at the same distance all the same. So think with your brain, not with your books. =) Interesting degree though.

Answer / captain correcto
As an Aviation Technology Graduate, I can confirm that there are a number of factors which would need to be considered in order to identify the correct solution.
Firstly, the altitude of both aircraft is required.
Secondly, the wind strength and direction is required
thirdly, (and perhaps the most pedantic), the exact route to be taken is required -this is not the same for all aircraft and operators!

When Alexander the Great attacked the forces of Porus, an Indian soldier was captured by the Greeks. He had displayed such bravery in battle, however, that the enemy offered to let him choose how he wanted to be killed. They told him, "If you tell a lie, you will put to the sword, and if you tell the truth you will be hanged." The soldier could make only one statement. He made that statement and went free. What did he say?

A fly is flying between two trains, each travelling towards each other on the same track at 60 km/h. The fly reaches one engine, reverses itself immediately, and flies back to the other engine, repeating the process each time. The fly is flying at 90 km/h. If the fly flies 180 km before the trains meet, how far apart were the trains initially?
