@faint pilot yes, you are correct in your thought

#

there are at least two ways to think about this

#

one of them is algebraic and the other less so

#

how comfortable are you with algebra in general?

the gryphon has a head start of 42 minutes, i.e. 0.7 hours, in which it flies a distance of 0.7*50 = 35 kilometers

#

the gap between the dragon and gryphon starts out at that and closes at a rate of 255 - 50 = 205 km/h

#

the moment it reaches 0 is when the dragon catches up

35 km / (205 km/h)
