a Day

Two men entered a race on a cir
cular track. The first man ran around
the circle once. starting at point A,
and ending there. His opponent
started at 3, ran straight across the
circle TO A; back to 3. and over 10 A
again. He traversed the distance
across just three times. The first
mans speed was slightly lessened, as
he was running on a curve; but his
opponent had TO make two stops. The
result was that their average rate Of
speed was exactly the same. Which
man won the race?
