Two grasshoppers are hanging around, and each is boasting that they are faster than the other. To settle the argument, they decide to have a race.
The larger of the grasshoppers, Craig -- can jump 10 inches at a single bound. The other grasshopper, Domenic, can jump only six inches at a shot. So Craig says, "We're going to set up a racecourse that's 24 feet long: 12 feet out and 12 feet back."
They're each at the starting point. Tara shoots the gun, and they take off.
Now, even though Craig, the bigger grasshopper, can jump 10 inches at a shot, the little grasshopper, Domenic, jumps more often. So when they get to the five-foot mark -- which is 60 inches -- Craig has jumped six times and Domenic has jumped 10 times, but they're dead even...neck and neck...antennae to antennae.
The question is: Which one wins the race, and why?
