Tidied up the advice and made the title more descriptive.

Rejigged the squash problem so it's physically possible: the rebound speed must be at most the initial speed.
A coefficient of restitution is picked, then the impulse is calculated based on that, and rounded off to 1 d.p.

Made the title more descriptive, and had a go at tidying the advice.
The calculations are pretty hard to follow - I'd rather work it out in algebra first, then sub in values once I've got an equation for $P$.
