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 ?

How about, instead of looking at time, we look at distance? Just as you did for the time, write it down for distance. It takes the short man three steps to stay next to the tall man (think of a child walking with their father).
Tall: L R L R L R L R L R L R L R L R L R L R L R L R L R
Short: LRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRL
OK! So maybe not! Another way to try would be to think musically. Two beats per bar and three beats per bar. Good job Ravi Raja! This has me stumped!
