There was a wormhole at the top of the hill, which immediately returned him to the bottom.

Nope, Chuck Testa

Smart butts all:

The official solution is:


If he could ride a mile in three minutes with the wind, it is clear that he could go a mile and a third in four minutes, and one mile in four minutes against the wind.

Therefore two and one-third miles in eight minutes gives his actual speed, because the wind helped him just as much as it has retarded him, so his actual speed for a single mile without any wind would be 3 minutes and 25 and 5/7 seconds.
