Word Problem

This morning, I filled a little sandbox with 100 pounds of rice.  So far my son has thrown 40 pounds off the deck, 28 pounds onto the deck, filled his pockets with 19 pounds and has eaten another 99 pounds. How is this possible?  Show your work.

    What time did he start, how fast was he traveling, and was his destination Cleveland?

    He was traveling to Cleveland, by train. Start time and speed are unknowns.

    He can eat from any of the places that he threw it
