    about 1325 mph

    Step-by-step explanation:

    average speed = total distance / total time = (distance uphill + distance downhill) / (time uphill + time downhill)

    time uphill = 606060 minutes / 60 = 10101 hours

    path = 666 mph * 10101 hours = 6727266 m

    time downhill = 6727266 m / 10101 hours = 55.5 h

    average speed = (6727266 m + 6727266 m) / (10101 hours + 55.5 h) = about 1325 mph
