My aunt’s Brooklyn brownstone has four floors. She has two cats, Butch and Spaz, who eat their Tender Vittles on the first floor. After chow, how many times can Butch race up to the second floor and back in the time it takes Spaz to motor up to the fourth floor and back? Assume they both run at the same speed with their bellies stuffed full of tuna leavin’s. See if you can do this in your head, without paper and pencil.
ok i'll bite. i say 1.5. they both start on 1. they get to 2 together. Spaz moves on to 3 while butch goes back to 1. Then spaz gets to 4 as butch hits 2 the 2nd time. so butch never makes it back to 1 the second time.
