Hello, members! It's the first Monday of September, and you know what Mondays mean for us---new riddles!

Here's this week's first:

The marathon man timed himself and found out that if he wore a bright white outfit, he ran 20 km in 80 minutes, but when he wore a dark outfit, he ran 20 km in one hour and twenty minutes. Should he wear a different colour for his next race?

Hmmm... I say he wear whatever he wants as long as he's wearing something! Kidding aside, do you know the answer? If so, tell us below!
As long as he ware’s something - makes no difference to his times 80 mins or 1hr 20mins as they say in Thailand same, same but different :)

Doesn't matter what colour he runs the same time
 
Cloathing makes absolutely no difference, it is the interpretation of dara.

In this case 80 minutes = 1 hr 20 Min

Doesn’t matter. Time is the same.
 
Wow, members! You've all outdone yourselves! So many of you got it right! And I thought I was being clever by hinting at the answer in the post and framing it as a joke to throw you all off... I know now not to try that again! (But even without it, I have full confidence you still would've answered correctly anyway!)

Special mention as well to some responses that made us laugh:

@Maria G: 'Mind you, if he goes naked he might reduce drag factor and go faster.'

@PeeJay35: 'He should wear no clothes at all. He will run faster with the police trying to catch him!'

Well done, members! See you in the next riddle!
