“500 miles.

The combined speed is 30,000 mi/hr. That’s 500 mi/minute. The starting distance is a red herring, what matters is how much they close the gap in a minute.”

I can’t resist sharing this little puzzle, presented to me by a neighbor (who is a forester) over a diner table.

Take 6 sticks of spaghetti (equally long), and break 2 of them in equal halves. Now you have 4 long ones and 4 shorts ones. Use them to form 3 squares of equal size.

Let me know how long it takes for you to figure it out. See if you can even do it without the actual spaghetti sticks.

Don’t lose sleep over it.
