Ann and Anne are in bumper cars starting 50 meters apart. Each one approaches the other at a constant ground speed of 10 km/hr10 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{hr}. A fly starts at Ann, flies to Anne, then back to Ann, and so on, back and forth until it gets crushed when the two bumper cars collide. When going from Ann to Anne, the fly flies at 20 km/hr20 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{hr}; when going in the opposite direction the fly flies at 30 km/hr30 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{hr} (thanks to a breeze). How many meters does the fly fly?
