And a funny one (this one I stole from a book and did not think up myself):
A hunter and his dog are returning home. When they are in sight of their cabin (about a mile away) the dog starts running towards the cabin at 18mph while the hunter continues to walk at 3mph. When the dog arrives at the cabin he turns around and runs back to the hunter (who is now nearer tothe cabin) only to turn around again once he reached his owner and make a run for the cabin. He continues runninng back and forth between hunter and cabin until the hunter arrives at the cabin. How much distance did the poor dog cover?

Thinking up a mathematical formula would be more fun ( and not that hard ), but the answer is offcourse 1 mile [img]tongue.gif[/img]
He ran quite some distance, but s = distance from 0-point (startingpoint ) is still 1 mile, no matter how much times he ran back and forth [img]smile.gif[/img]
