can you solve the speedy fly problem? without seeing the answer?
A Ferrari is traveling at 30 miles per hour on a head-on collision course with a Maserati, which is being driven at a leisurely 20 miles per hour. When the two cars are exactly 50 miles apart, a very fast fly leaves the front fender of the Ferrari and travels towards the Maserati at 100 miles per hour. When it reaches the Maserati, it instantly reverses direction and flies back to the Ferrari and continues winging back and forth between the rapidly approaching cars. At the moment the two cars collide, what is the total distance the fly has covered?

The fly covers one hundred miles. there's a humorous tale approximately Claude Shannon (a admired mathematician at Bell Labs in the 30's, 40's and 50's). He replaced into asked that query at lunch sooner or later by using a co-worker. Shannon concept for a 2nd and mentioned, "one hundred miles." The co-worker mentioned some thing approximately maximum folk could have used the sum of an endless sequence. Shannon regarded at him and mentioned, "yet that *is* the way I did it." ? Doug
