I'm impressed by that reasoning. I think I would have tried to calculate the meeting point.

same here. I was stumped tbh.

I have to unlearn and relearn my Maths in order to prepare my children for the current realities of the Maths syllabus

based on what?

reply

Don't know. I'd probably try to logic that out, and if not possible eventually maybe realize the trick.

In other words, I'd waste a lot of time brute forcing it before I'd stumble upon a more elegant solution.

That’s what I started doing. Once I had it sketched out and parameterized, I realized that the intersection point could be anywhere in the middle box.

reply

Ah, I thought you took one look, saw that you weren't given enough information for the intersection, and reasoned the intersection could be anywhere, including on a straight line between the two corners.

I did start out with an inclination that there was a cute simple answer like that, but I started working it out to make sure I wasn’t missing something.
