Hi folks, Now that winter has started, how about resolving an enigma ? Ready ?
Two sailors are challenging each other for a race to determine who's the fastest. They have only one boat and will take turn to cross the river from east to west. The goal is to cross the river as fast as possible. The river, perfectly linear and oriented north-south has a current flowing to the south at a constant speed of 5 knots.The first one to go get a wind from north with a constant speed of 6 knots. The second sailor to go, unfortunately saw the wind dropping to one knot as soon has he gets on the river. Boat? Choose whatever C&C you prefer, as long as both sailors use the same boat, same sails. Who won the race ? More importantly : why ? Sorry, there is nothing to win for a good answer. Believe this was too easy ? What if the first sailor gets a west wind of 5 knots and the second gets an east wind of 5 knots? Have fun.
