During a recent BrainBashers race meeting, the fastest driver managed to complete a lap with an average speed of 150 mph.

They managed to complete the first two fifths of the lap at a speed of 123 mph and the second two fifths of the lap at a speed of 164 mph.

At what speed was the final one fifth of the lap length covered?

The answer is not 176 mph.
