Wrong answer - overtaking trains

There's a wrong answer in the overtaking trains logic puzzle at http://git.gnome.org/browse/gbrainy/tree/src/Games/Logic/PuzzleTrains.cs#n64 The computed result (rslt) is the time it takes the second train to catch up with the first train, that is, how many hours after the second train left the station. However, the question asks "How many hours since the **first** train left does it take the second train to overtake the first train?". The computed answer does not account for the time delay between the first train's departure and the second train's departure (hours). Either the question needs to be reworded, or the answer must rslt+hours.
Thanks for reporting Matt gbrainy 2.0 got a big proof-reading from a native English speaking and unfortunately while trying to enhance the grammar of this sentence the meaning was changed. I propose to change the question from: How many hours since the first train left does it take the second train to overtake the first train? To the previous original: How many hours does it take the second train, since it starts moving, to overtake the first train? If you can confirm if you agree with the fix. Thanks, Jordi,
This has been fixed. Thanks. Jordi,
