I think you said speed was the factor and not distance. Your example did not state that the speed of the turtle was decreasing as a condition, only cited what if. Therefore the 10 mph runner will overtake and pass the 1 mph turtle after only approx 11 hours.

The rabbit will catch the turtle at 111.1 m. :)

Try and figure it out.  I can't right now...I've got a crying baby to tend to! :D

It's a limit as something approaches zero...I think lasersailor was onto it...

It's a limit as the Rabbit catches the turtle.  The turtle is the limit.

hmmm...is the turtle in a box?  Are you sure?

I have heard that turtles keep knives hidden in thier butt cracks. You should never try to race them.
