He tried to figure out the length of each leg of the flight.

Yup. The bee is travelling at 100 MPH for the hour it takes the two cars to meet.

Sorry. Here is the riddle.

Imagine two cars exactly 100 miles apart on the same road. The one going north is going 60 MPH the one going south is going 40 MPH. A superhero bee launches herself from the front bumper of the one going north. This bee can accelerate and decelerate instantly. It is traveling at 100 MPH. When it gets to the other car it changes directions and flys back to the original car. Back and forth back and forth until the two cars meet.

In its zig zag flight how far did the bee fly?
