The h2g2 Post Office and the h2iq Headquarters are 27 miles apart. Shazz travels at 8 miles per hour from the Post Office to the h2iq Headquarters, while Greebo travels at 1 miles per hour from the h2iq Headquarters to the Post Office.
If both set out at the same time, how many miles will Shazz have to travel before meeting the Greebo en route?

So you're "The Greebo" now? Is there no limit to your ego?

Why do you think her average is only 1 mile/hour?
Eauc hour they deminish the distance between them with 1+8=9 miles, so it takes 3 hours to meet.
Shazz then will have travelled 24 miles.
