The scenario is speed
Travel at   
100% = get there in 20 min
150% = 15 min
200% = 10 min
250% = 5 min
300% = 0 min
This is alien to me. Logic dictates that 50% should be half, so 150% should = 10, but maybe this isn't working because 150% is more.

I get this scenario, and why it works
100% = 20
75% = 15
50% = 10

The speed formula S/DxT shouldn't work, because there's no distance, or rather, the minutes are the distance, but the minutes are also the time. The speed is... maybe 100%/20min?

"Ornate chandeliers suspended from a vaulted ceiling lit the spacious chamber; Jack tilted his gaze overhead and noticed how far away they were.  His thoughts wove around those bright lights, like a dance of ether masses spiraling in precious unison. Why must we try to clutch desperately for the mere threads of this world when we can clasp onto a tapestry of untold magnificence beyond this plane of existence?"

It isn't a problem, just an observation I've made where I want to make sense of it.
