Mr. Phil and Mr. Sussex were scheduled to leave the airport on different flights, at the same time. They traveled from town in the same cab, were caught in a traffic jam, and arrived at the airport 30 minutes after the scheduled departure time of their flights. Mr. Phil is told that his flight left on time. Mr. Sussex is told that his flight was delayed, and just left five minutes ago. Who is more upset, Mr. Phil or Mr. Sessex?

okay cheeze... I get that this is one of your mind boggling riddles. But, in the spirit of reality and human frustration, I think that Mr.Sussex would be more upset because he had "just missed his flight by 5 minutes" where as Mr.Phil probably knew that he would be missing his due to the traffic etc etc. It would be frustrating as all hell to feel that "close... but no cigar" feeling rather then knowing you definately missed it. But, I know you and this MUST be a trick question, what is the answer?!?
