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 On 04/01/2010, Odhiambo Washington <odhiambo@gmail.com> wrote:

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...
