I have seen a variant of this (but cannot remember where I saw it):
A duck is in the center of a circular lake. A fox is on the bank. The duck only needs to reach the bank (without simultaneously being caught by the fox) to win. The fox cannot swim.
If both move at the same speed, the fox wins easily. But what if the fox moves 4× as fast as the duck?
- spenceyboi 15y agoI believe you meant to say that the duck wins easily if they both move at the same speed.
- finnw 15y agoYou're right, sorry (too late to edit)
- pratikpoddar 15y agoThat is a different problem as the fox cannot enter the water body. Here both the tamer and the lion can go anywhere in the cage.
