Please help -- why is this statement sufficient? Hoping that Princeton Review got this question wrong...my instructor couldn't figure it out either.
Justin & Rachel are cycling and they start from the same point. In how many hours will Justin be 4 miles ahead of Rachel?
1) 1 hour ago, Rachel was 2 miles ahead of Justin

Hi tpz,
If you assume that this Fact is insufficient, then you are correct.
It's possible that this is a typo/errata error (these types of errors are known to happen in large-scale products re: books, etc.). Did the explanation that came with this question use different language?
If the prompt had stated:
1) After 1 hour, Rachel was 2 miles ahead of Justin
Then THAT would be sufficient (since it establishes how far Rachel gets ahead of Justin per hour).
