Two identical balls roll across the top of a table on parallel paths. One of the balls has to roll down into and up out of a dip in the table. The other ball rolls on the flat all the time. Which ball gets to the far side of the table first, and why?.
(In reply to

i agree to the ball through the dip having to more average speed...
but it covers more distance also, like
\ / |
\ / |h
\/ |
______
d
distance travelled is sq. root of d^2+(4xh^2)
instead of d in the other case
