Very sneaky LOL The ghost track answer is correct. If you start the ghost track up at 8 am and the guy starts down at 8am the next day, he passes the ghost track somewhere at the same time no matter what they did coming up or down. No special clock watching required. |

No. Measurement is infinite, so precision is impossible. All things are meaningless. Thus we drift into the void.

This whole graph thing is best visualized as a line segment with points at each end. The points represent the "2" monks on their common path of travel, the line.
Press play and both points start heading toward one another over the course of 8 hours. Eventually some time between 1 second after starting them 8 hours later the two points are going to converge no matter their respective speed or if they sometimes set idle for hours. They will converge and that point was the common time of day they shared in the same place on the path. |

StaccatoC2 doesn't get it.
Admiral_Crunch's explanation on page 1 should be enough. The OP says it takes 12 hours to go up and 12 to go down. Based on this, on AVERAGE, they will meet at the halfway point at 2pm. Now, let's say it takes less time to go down than it does to go up. A reasonable assumption. The monk on day 1 will walk per the following equation: mph1 x t1 = d1 For monk2: mph2 x t2 =d2 Since they have to be in the same spot at the same time, t1 = t2. Therefore, mph1/d1 = mph2/d2 We also know that the total distance, D, equals d1+d2. @StaccatoC2, provide values for mph1, mph2, and D and anyone else on the thread will be able to tell you how far each monk walked and at what time they met at the same spot on the trail. Send the other guy a pmag or 10 or make a donation to St. Judes. Now an example: mph1 = 2 mph mph2 = 4 mph D = 12 Plugging in the numbers to the above equation: 2/d1 = 4/d2 12 = d1 + d2 so d1 =12 - d2 2/(12-d2) = 4/d2 2d2 = 48 - 4d2 6d2 = 48 d2 = 8 d1 = 12 - 8 = 4 mph1 x t1 = d1 2 x t1 = 4 t1 = 2 hrs At 10 am, monk1 1 will be 4 miles up the mountain and monk 2 will be 8 miles down. Sure hope I didn't screw up the math after all that. Try it with whatever mph and total distance you want. |

8am-8pm is 12 hours. Let's assume it's a 12 mile trip for easy math. The ascending monk travels at 1 mph and the descending monk travels at 3 mph. At 11am (3 hours in), the Monks meet eachother. The descending monk stops at that point to rest until 7 pm then continues. The ascending monk never stops. Both Monks complete their journey at 8pm.
ETA beat by someone who does math shit...  In the end, there is a certainty that the monk occupies the same place at one point in the journey. |

Your Y axes don't match so you can't compare the two. Suppose the mountain is 1000 meters high. Your descending monk is at, say, 550 meters at 1:40. We know the ascending monk doesn't get to to 550 meters until 2:20. So let's say he's at 500 meters at 1:40. Explain the altitudes of the monks between 1:40 and 2:20. General terms are fine. For what it's worth, what you've done is literally no different than saying one monk is at the bottom at 8 AM, but the other monk doesn't get there until 8 PM. You would need to mathematically prove that for all possible times and altitudes between the start and the finish, they can't be the same. I'll give your a hint - that's not possible. |

Get a piece of string. The path
Put a glass bead on each end. The monks Start a timer, you have 12 hours to slide the beads toward the opposite end they are on. You can slide them in any amount you want but by the end of 12 hours each bead needs to be at the opposite end. Do they collide somewhere on that string in that 12 hour interval? Does not the common clock they share you started at the beginning tell you just one time...that they both share? |

But your trolling is impressive. Distance traveled is not what you should be graphing. That chart doesn't have to show anything other than they start and end at the same point. Try graphing distance for one, and (6 - distance) for the other, and you might find the answer you seek. Because you are looking for altitude to match, not distance traveled. |

When I was in high school, my wrestling coach taught "Alternative Learning Center." It was basically just in school suspension for kids who were not quite legally retarded, just prone to trouble because they generally had no attention span. But they were universally pretty dumb. The wrestlers were allowed in the back room there during free periods, where we'd play NES. As the lone smart guy on the team, I ended up trying to tutor these kids. Sometimes it worked, but I will never forget trying to explain algebraic substitution to this one girl. The problem was 3x=27, and no matter how many different ways I tried she didn't get it. I eventually gave up and just said I couldn't help her. |

Its interesting that everyone advocating for 'yes, they do cross paths' uses a chart/graph with opposite lines of charting (x pattern). Of course an x pattern crosses somewhere...
...but the monk is walking the same path in different directions (parallel of sorts path), which means that his times-relative-location can definitely never cross between start n finish... |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Ok let me rephrase that. Have they traveled to the same point from the start and finish in the same amount of time? Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: The distances traveled will be the same by the end of the 12 hours but not necessarily where they meet. The path is the same length for both. If you believe the monk doesn't pass his ghost at some shared time and place on the path then you DO believe 2 glass beads can get to the opposite ends on a string without hitting. Ok let me rephrase that. Have they traveled to the same point from the start and finish in the same amount of time? Absolutely. Think about the beads on a string. If you were tasked with pushing the 2 beads to opposite ends over the course of 12 hours you'd eventually hit a point in time where they would be in each other's way of getting past. It could be near the center or near either end depending on how you moved the pieces and how far each time but they WILL get in the way before you can have them at opposite ends within 12 hours. This is the point that the monk passes his ghost track. You're getting side tracked trying to map out each beads exact location on the string at what time and distance from respective start points but it doesn't matter given the circumstances. If each bead will be at the other end in 12 hours they will collide sometime between 1 second after go and 11hrs 59seconds or so. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Ok I also see what your saying, but we are using my chart based on time he did move. So he did move. OK. So say at 1:50 Monk 1 is at 2.9. Monk 2 is at 3.0. At 1:55 Monk 1 is resting. Monk 2 has moved to 2.95. They both start walking again. For Monk 1 to pass Monk 2's position, which is only decreasing, he has to occupy the same space and time at least once. In other words, if Monk 2 is going from 3.1 to 2.8 and Monk 1 is going from 2.8 to 3.1, they cannot get there unless they occupy the same precise height. They will do so by definition at the same time of day. I think you are getting confused on the time taken, which is different. It might take one 4 hours and one 2 hours, but they *will* get to the same place and time. |

This time traveling monk is gonna fuck up space time occupying the same time and place as himself.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Its interesting that everyone advocating for 'yes, they do cross paths' uses a chart/graph with opposite lines of charting (x pattern). Of course an x pattern crosses somewhere... ...but the monk is walking the same path in different directions (parallel of sorts path), which means that his times-relative-location can definitely never cross between start n finish... That's why I go with the shared line as the path. The end points just drift toward the opposite ends over the course of 12 hours at random rates and distances until they cross. That's the common time and place. |

Draw two lines, both of which originate/finish at the same time/location. You can choose to draw them all squiggly so they do touch atleast once, or you can choose to draw them so they never touch except at the ends...
...its the same path in different directions, not differing paths that cross each other |

X-pattern is accurate, one can visualize this with the top of the chart being the summit and the bottom being the base. It is a certainty that the monk will occupy a space at the same time of the day regardless of speed, as long as start and finish are constrained within the specified period. ETA they're not parallel paths, they're literally opposites. |
