re: f) undeterminable

again, you are dead wrong.

let me simplify it for you:

the distance between A & B equal to the distance between C & D and equal to 1 meter where distance is defined as a length of the straight line connecting 2 points. A and B lie on a flat horizantal surface while C and D lie on a slightly concaved surface. The shortest possible line connecting A and B is parallel to the shortest line connecting C and D. There is no friction. Two identical balls are pushed at the same time with the same speed. One of those balls was pushed from A toward B and the other from C toward D. Assuming newtonian laws of motion, X is the time that the first ball traveled from A to B and Y is the time that other ball traveled from C to D determine if:
a) X=Y
b) X>Y
c) X<Y

BTW did I solve your problem correctly? ;-))
