    Not much ... and it gets progressively less and less.  But a bit nonetheless, so the faster runner never catches up.

    I was surprised when I worked it out, but I was also confident and strong!


    Admirable qualities, FOD.

    There may be a place available at the prefect table in the near future.  I'll keep you in mind.

    Splendid!

    Maybe my question should be how much faster does he run and what is the distance to be run :-)

    Doesn't matter.  The basic point is that, when the slower runner has a head start, it takes the faster runner some time to make up the difference ... by which time the slower runner has moved on a bit.  And so on, and so on.

    Right ... off to The Valley now.

    mol takes the prize with month (which I forgot) and Y for year.  This was the question which won a contestant over £90,000 on the quiz show hosted by Lee Mack - the 1% club
