80%

1/4 of 80% is 20%

i.e. 48 mins have passed, 12 remaing, (12 is 1/4 of 48).

[edit]bahh, you beat me to it, and yep, I did the same thing.

Whoohoo

Latin America - 1

Rest of the World - 0

how did you get from

HERE

x + x/4 = 1

to

HERE

5x/4 = 1

how did you get the 5? :wacko:

I exolained in my first post,

X+(X/4)=60

(4X/4)+(X/4)=60

-------------------------

X=X

4/4=1

(4/4)*X=X

(4X)/4=X
