As their first challenge in the tournament Sir Jimmy John and Sir Wallace
Wordsworth must participate in a foot race. The track is as shown above,
composed of two straight lines that are 100m in length and two perfect
semi-circles with a diameter of 40m.
1) What is the total distance of the track given the information above?
(rounded to the nearest meter)
Sir Jimmy John is a peak athlete and runs at a constant speed of 3 m/s.
Conversely, Sir Wallace Wordsworth is super old and also still adjusting to the
elevation of Nether Wallop, he runs at a slower speed of 2.5 m/s.
2) Who do you expect to win the race? How long would it take each
knight to finish the race given the information above?
Both brave knights start the race, after Sir Wallace travels 100m. he notices
that he is falling behind and there is no way he can win the race because Sir
Jimmy is freaky fast. Sir Wallace casts a dark magic spell that instantly moves
him 50m ahead in the race.
3) After the dark spell has been cast, who is ahead?
4) Who wins the race?
