Comment on the problem presentation

Appropriate punctuation would be very helpful. Apparently, it is a 1/4-mile track, not a 14-mile track. Apparently, the distance is 1 1/2 miles, not 112 miles. Copying and pasting problem text often leaves out the special symbols used on some web sites. Some editing is usually needed.
