It would take infinite steps for an ant to reach moon, from earth. Such an insect would reach there at an infinite time, and at an infinite minus n miles, it would die due to lack of oxygen. The journey is insecure:Am assuming that an insect cant carry even a simple can full of oxygen on its head, thorax, or abdomen. On 1/4/10, Jared Koyier <jaredkoyier@gmail.com> wrote:
A jet going at 1000km/hr would take 16days to get to the moon. At 1inch/sec any ant(lifespan=90days) will never get there.However shud this be a software ant and assuming that 1pixel=600km so that there are 650linear pixels btn earth and the moon then an ant reduced by same pixel factor would take 90mil steps

Happy New Year y'all.
While prepping for an interview with Google I briefly fantasized myself as the torturer (interviewer), not the tortured (interviewee). So I came up with this ridiculous puzzle, any takers?
- How many steps would an ant require to walk to the moon (assuming a string attached from earth to the moon)?
Hehee... Have a winch mounted on the moon to roll up the string, hoisting the perched ant in a single step, no? I am just thinking...
