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 ?

Depending on the level of word play, any number of answers can be argued. The first solution to occur to me is, if both men start out by standing on their left feet, then their first step will be onto their right feet, together.
