Is there an answer to this question?
Did he go to work because he needed to earn some money?
If this happened in Ann Arbor, would the events happening in this question
be big enough to make it into the Ann Arbor News on a slow news day?

If a train left Philadelphia at 55 mph toward Chicago and an hour
and a half later a fly started to fly from the dining car past an
open window, would the waiter be able to calculate the trajectory
of the fly as it is pulled out by the vacuum?

of the fly as it is pulled out by the vacuum?
Yes, because the waiter is a nuclear physicist who can't get a
job in his field. However, it's really irrelevant.
