Bug Description

I hope I'm not crazy, or reading this wrong.
Question: 'A train leaves the station traveling at 30 mph. 4 hours later a second train leaves the station traveling in the same direction at 60 mph. How many hours since the first train left does it take the second train to overtake the first train?

Answer should be 8, but the 'correct' answer is 4. It cannot possibly be 4 since the second train just started to leave 4 hours after the first train. 4 would be correct if the question was ' How many hours since the second train left does it take the second train to overtake the first train?'

Thanks!
