A hiker walks from one town to another. On the first day she covers one quarter of the total distance.

The next day she covers one quarter of what is left.

The following day she covers two fifths of the remainder and on the fourth day half of the remaining distance.

She now has 15 miles left. How many miles has she travelled?
 
The layout of her hike makes no sense, it appears she can jump space and time. So therefore the amount of miles travelled is irrelevant
 
12.46875 miles?

Edit: Opps... Misread that - I thought the total hike was 15 miles. I CBA doing it again.
 
A female hiker would get no more than 2 miles out of any Town before being kidnapped, raped and murdered by a passing Lorry Driver.
