i would saw 2 cause once im 2 ft away from it, i can reach it

If you actually mean "get to the door" then you never will.

It's really just the ancient "A frog is on a lily pad in the middle of a pond" riddle.

A hare is chasing a tortoise. The tortoise is 100m ahead of the hare. Both animals are travelling at a constant speed, and the hare's speed is 10 times that of the tortoise. Will the hare ever reach the tortoise?

depends. are they traveling faster then 0 mph? is so then yes

The hare is travelling 10 times faster than the tortoise.

Therefore, once the hare has made up the 100m gap with the tortoise, the tortoise has moved a further 10m forward. Once the hare makes up that 10m, the tortoise has moves 1m forward. The hare moves 1m, the tortoise has moved 10cm. So the hare will never catch the tortoise

wait doesnt that mean hare went 10000 m then instead of 100 1 would be 100 m and 10 would be 1000

Bakster you noob. That is a retelling of the an ancient greek paradox (arrow and the soldier). It seemed like that arrow would never reach the man, but that is actually incorrect, like your assumption. You see time cant be broken own into chunks, it is flowing and constant. Therefore, the hare will catch the rabbit and overtake it.

example: the tortoise travels 1 metre/100secs, the hare 10metre/100secs.

The tortoise begins 10 metres ahead of hare. It would take the hare 100secs to reach 10ms and another 100 to reach 20 ms. So in 200secs the hare has moved 20ms.

Lets look at the tortoises progress; the tortoise is already at 10 ms at 0 secs. It would take the tortoise another 1000secs to move 10ms. so in the 200 secs in took the hare to move 20ms, the tortoise would have only of moved 2ms on top of the ten. So the hare has clearly overtaken the tortoise.

Pwn't xx

Sorry some typos

own = down

rabbit = hare (whatever)

200 secs timeline

hare
I--------------------I--------------------I
0 10 20

tortoise
I--------------------I------I
0 10 12

And to Ultswordsmens riddle, you would reach the door because space cannot be infinitely divided.

So there IS an actual number of halves to get to the door.

The smallest possible measurement is planck (impossible to be any smaller)

You can have planck length and time.

An example of planck length would be baksters penis.

Bakster · August 31, 2006, 06:28:22 PM

anima, don't you think that was obvious?

I just expressed the answer to make the answer look different from what it actually was.
