Daniel drove the most (20 miles more than Kevin).
Total drive: x miles
1e drive: Kevin 90 miles, Daniel (x - 90) miles
2e drive: Kevin (x - 100) miles, Daniel 100 miles
Total driving:
Kevin: 90 + (x - 100) = -10 + x miles
Daniel: (x - 90) + 100 = +10 + x miles
Daniel drives 20 miles more.

A man started from home at 14:30 hours and drove to a village. When he arrived, the village clock displayed 15:15 hours. After staying for 25 minutes, he returned home by a different route.

Compared to the clock at home, is the village clock running fast or slow, and by how many minutes?
