You're holding the ends of a piece of thread of about 2 feet in length using your two hands. You stretch it horizontally in front of you in air. You see an ant on the thread. When you raise your left hand and lower the right, the ant start crawling along the string toward your left hand. It crawls toward your right hand when you raise your right hand and lower the left. You keep moving your hands in a way so that the ant has to keep crawling back and forth along the string.
Thinking that you have infinite energy and the ant has limited energy, how long would it take for the ant to get tired and stop crawling?

I would put slack in the thread and then pull the ends tight really fast and watch the little fella get catapulted.

I would be amused for only a few seconds and then I'd drop the string because I have better things to do that watch an ant!!

Oh yea, you haven't any longer have been given any thought how lots i prefer to assert "no". yet i'm unlikely to assert that, i hate the single word responses too. Its effective to ask a query then get a effective long reaction that shows the guy has truly thought with regards to the question, and knows what you assert. additionally solutions that have no longer something to do with the question or whilst they're incredibly impolite are stressful.

I think that the ants instinct would override your energy. The ant would drop dead rather than tire and your arms would give out far before that happened.

it would be a great bio experiment subject but how long do you think the kids of this generation could stand there and do this....
i'll take bets that the ant would win, hands down....given they have staying power...

It would depend on the ant.
