Four bugs are located in the corners of a square, 10 inches on the side. They are arranged like this:

            A---B
            |   |
            D---C 

As the clock starts, A begins crawling directly toward B, which goes to C, C goes to D and D to A.

Each bug will home in exactly on its target, reguardless of the target's motion, so their paths will be curves spiraling toward the center of the square where they will meet.

What distance will each of the bugs have covered by then?

WELL, SINCE I PUT IT INTO BOBO TERMS FOR YOU, I SEE THAT YOU ARE NOW STARTING TO GET IT. IT WAS NOTHING PERSONAL REFLECTED TOWARDS YOU, IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE TOWARDS ALL 3 OF YOU. I JUST COULD TELL THAT YOU GUYS WERE VISUAL PEOPLE, WHICH I AM TOO. AND "VERY GOOD," YOU CAN USE THE METHOD OF THROWING A FIST, IF IT WILL HELP YOU FIGURE OUT WHY YOU DON'T KNOW JACK SHIT. HAHA
