How Many?

[smartypants10101]

if it took an average man 15 mins to walk 1 mile , then he stopped for a break for 30 seconds then walked half a mile back then stopped for a further 30 seconds and returned to the end point of his original journey , how long has it took him to walk the half mile back ?

Please copy and paste the full original question. Otherwise I think we can be forgiven for concluding that you're wasting our time.

could be worse - Godwin's Law has not kicked in, yet.

Perhaps the walking man was Hitler.

One variable unaccounted for is gradient, if the initial phase was walked downhill the return would probably take longer, if the initial phase was up hill the return would probably be quicker. Insufficient data to resolve.
