Mike and Ike buy a trike and ride in circles around a spike. They each ride at a different time of day. They both pedal at the same rate. They both make perfect circles with the spike at the exact center. Mike rides twice as long (time) as Ike, but they cover the exact same distance. How is this possible?

It says they buy "a trike", but is it safe to assume they are riding the SAME trike?

I agree with Simon.
Mafiosos and mafiosas of the world, unite! And then kill each other in a particularly tricky move that everyone suspects but never anticipates.
stand back. I'm going to apply logic.

No, that is an interesting idea, but you are not correct. Sorry.Spoiler for Easy One
Yes, that is a safe assumption. They ride the same trike and they pedal it at the same rate.It says they buy "a trike", but is it safe to assume they are riding the SAME trike?
No, they pedal at the same rate, rotationally speaking. You could argue that they are exerting the same ENERGY due to the presence of the water, but that was not my intention.Spoiler for could it be...
I must therefore disagree with your agreement, though it pains me to say so.I agree with Simon.
Another interesting concept, I admit. Would you care to expand upon this?Spoiler for Mike and Ike's Trike

It is possible if you define "distance" in terms of angles instead of the usual metric.
