#import "@local/handout:0.1.0": * #show: handout.with( title: [Warm-Up: Travellers], by: "Mark", ) #problem() Four travellers are on a plane, each moving along a straight line at an arbitrary constant speed. \ No two of their paths are parallel, and no three intersect at the same point. \ We know that traveller A has met travelers B, C, and D, \ and that traveller B has met C and D (and A). Show that C and D must also have met. #solution([ When a body travels at a constant speed, its graph with respect to time is a straight line. \ So, we add time axis in the third dimension, perpendicular to our plane. \ 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. ])
