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 ?

Bryan, you are saying that if both men start out by standing on their left feet, then their first step will be onto their right feet, together. Similarly, next time they will step on their left feet together and so on. That implies they are always walking together and together they are going to take every step and the condition of the problem which says "A short man takes three steps to a tall man’s two steps" will never be satisfied. So just check where you are going wrong.
