Trains
On a circular track, three trains travel at the same speed: one unit per second.
The track has a length of 641 units.
The trains start to move at T=0.
At which T do the trains occupy the same position again?
[My timing: 5 sec]

The track has a length of 641 units.
- Train n° 1 has a length of 11 units and occupies the position 0 to 10. It travels clockwise
- Train n° 2 has a length of 13 units and occupies the position 100 to 112. It travels counter-clockwise
- Train n° 3 has a length of 17 units and occupies the position 200 to 216. It travels clockwise
The trains start to move at T=0.
At which T do the trains occupy the same position again?
