2018 AIME II Problem 1
Points A, B, and C lie in that order along a straight path where the distance from A to C is 1800 meters. Ina runs twice as fast as Eve, and Paul runs twice as fast as Ina. The three runners start running at the same time with Ina starting at A and running toward C, Paul starting at B and running toward C, and Eve starting at C and running toward A. When Paul meets Eve, he turns around and runs toward A. Paul and Ina both arrive at B at the same time. Find the number of meters from A to B.
Leading zeroes must be inputted, so if your answer is 34, then input 034
