Sorry, this is wrong.
It should be 130.

60/(1/2)=60*2=120

120+10 = 130

How ya doing, buddy?

On their 50th wedding anniversary and during the banquet celebrating it, Tom was asked to give his friends a brief account of the benefits of a marriage of such long duration.

"Tell us Tom, just what is it you have learned from all those wonderful years with your wife?" an anonymous voice yelled from the back of the room.

Tom responded, "Well, I've learned that marriage is the best teacher of all. It teaches you loyalty, meekness, forbearance, self-restraint, forgiveness and a great many other qualities you wouldn't need if you stayed single."

Two blonde bank robbers are racing down a bumpy back road in a pretty beat up car, down to a bank they're going to rob.

"Drive slower" pleads the one in the passenger seat, "I don't want all the dynamite in the trunk to explode."

"Relax," the driver replies, "even if it did, I've got a spare box under the seat..."

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I don't believe that is a sufficient answer. (no offense)

The proper answer would be that the Angular Velocity of the points remains the same.
However, the Tangential Velocity of each point varies, as it is a function of the radius and the Angular Velocity, and the radius varies.
The reason why there appears to be a discrepancy in distance travelled between the 2 points is because angular measurements are in terms of angular measurements, wheras distance is measured in terms of physical lengths.

In other words, it is a confusion of terminology.

Also, a humorous story:

My job as a land surveyor took me to a golf course that was expanding from 9 holes to 18 holes.

Using a machete to clear thick brush in an area I was mapping, I came upon a golf club that an irate player must have tossed away. It was in good condition, so I picked it up and continued on.

When I broke out of the brush onto a putting green, two golfers stared at me in awe. I had a machete in one hand, a golf club in the other, and behind me was a clear-cut swath leading out of the woods.

"There," said one of the golfers, "is a guy who hates to lose his ball!"

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
