Step By Step (Posted on 2003-03-07)

A short man takes three steps to a tall man’s two steps. They both start out on the left foot.

How many steps do they have to take before they are both stepping out on the right foot together ?

They will never be on the right foot together. Whenever the tall man steps on his right foot, the short man is halfway between two steps.
