we are going to measure who is fastest. In the one corner: Human, all of 175 pounds of extremely well trained runner. And in the other corner, a Formula 1 racecar with a remote control running down a straight track. Over what distance? I think it's generally accepted that a human sprinter is faster than the car if the race is short enough. I can't find an example of human vs F1, but here's a fast sprinter vs a standard car: http://www.roadandtrack.com/motorsports/news/a21802/olympic-sprinter-out-accelerates-a-bmw-320d-34791/ http://www.roadandtrack.com/motorsports/news/a21802/olympic-... And here's a slow sprinter versus a much faster Indy car: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seNRu5JjpDM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seNRu5JjpDM The obvious comparison would be to a "blitz game" in Go, where I think that humans still have the advantage. Would a shorter (or longer) time be somehow inherently "fairer"?
