\title{Warm-Up: Travellers}
\subtitle{Prepared by \githref{Mark} on \today}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\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.
\end{solution}
