Artur’s test //at 08:40 //by abe
The monk climbs the mountain from 6am to 6pm. And the next day while he is descending from 6am to 6pm, a priest climbs. The priest gets to the top at 6pm, which is the same time that the monk gets to the bottom.
Is there a time that they are ever at the same height?
I solved this equationally at shopzilla somehow. I solved it
graphically at shopzilla. The next day, I realized, that the picture
of someone going down the other side was a red herring: if I had only
reflected the downward trip on the upward trip, I would have noticed
that they would cross paths!
