Title: A horse and a snail
Post by NewTone on Jul 9th, 2008, 6:12pm
Here´s a riddle:

Imagine a rubber band that is attached to a wall on one end and is attached to a horse at
the other end. On the rubber, near the wall, there is a snail. Both the snail and the horse
start moving, with typical speeds – with the rubbed band being infinitely stretchable.Can the snail reach the horse?

Hey NewTone.
I think it'sbeen quite nicely dealt with here. (http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~wwu/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=riddles_hard;action=display;num=1042806422)

A very nice question though.
(good effort rewording the title  ;))
