The Four-Way Traffic Light

Puzzle: At a four-way intersection, four traffic lights direct each way. Each light is green for 30 seconds, yellow for 5, and red for 30. How often are all lights red simultaneously?

Answer: The cycle repeats every 70 seconds. All lights are red simultaneously for 0 seconds because they change to green or yellow before all four can be red.
