Illustrates, But Doesn't Answer.

Here Is another Times reader who re-
jects the wheel Illustration and the
merry-go-round illustration, but in place
offers revolving pole. Unfortunately.
he doesn't say what he concludes from
the revolving pole.
To the Squirrel Editor OF the Times:
II Is amusing TO read the an
sWers TO the squirrel and hunter
problem, as II mar be termed e.
pecially the wheel and merry-gO-
round answers, which are no con-
parison at all. They seem TO over
look the fact that a wheel hub and
rim are attached. while the squirrel
and hunter are detached, which
makes a difference so great that they
are not parallel.
Suppose we substitute the tree with
a pole on a pivot and substitute the
squirrel with a red OF black spot
on the pole, let the pole slowly re-
volve on the pivot, draw a 3)-foOt
diameter circle around the revOlv-
ing pole and start the hunter at any
given point on the circle, with the
spot on the opposite side OF pole
to the hunter When the hunter
completes the circle viii ne have
