Four bugs are located in the corners of a square, 10 inches on the side. They are arranged like this:

            A---B
            |   |
            D---C 

As the clock starts, A begins crawling directly toward B, which goes to C, C goes to D and D to A.

Each bug will home in exactly on its target, reguardless of the target's motion, so their paths will be curves spiraling toward the center of the square where they will meet.

What distance will each of the bugs have covered by then?

Well done jim, I could "learn" from you!

All I would be able to say is point out the obvious things like what he is saying is completely illogical, and the fact that he uses caps and profanity expresses his inability to be logical.
