\problem{}
|
||||
Four travellers are on a plane, each moving along a straight line at an arbitrary constant speed. \par
|
||||
No two of their paths are parallel, and no three intersect at the same point. \par
|
||||
We know that traveller A has met travelers B, C, and D, \par
|
||||
and that traveller B has met C and D (and A). Show that C and D must also have met. \par
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{solution}
|
||||
When a body travels at a constant speed, its graph with respect to time is a straight line. \par
|
||||
So, we add time axis in the third dimension, perpendicular to our plane. \par
|
||||
Naturally, the projection of each of these onto the plane corresponds to a road.
|
||||
|
||||
Now, note that two intersecting lines define a plane and use the conditions in the problem to show that no two lines are parallel.
