A family visit to the Netherlands introduces Pete to the idea of average speed zones, which illustrate a particularly interesting mathematical theorem.  Join our hosts as they really go off on a tangent about the mean value theorem, and how it just might get you a speeding ticket.

Questions Answered in the Episode:
• What is an average speed zone and how does it work to catch speeding drivers?
• What is the Mean Value Theorem and how does it relate average rates of change to instantaneous rates of change?
