    Absolutely correct preflop (#2)- gramps (#4) gives a nice explanation. So, I don't have to add anything!

    Here's an easy one and may have been posted earlier but I couldn't find it... The other day our local club organized a knock-out tennis tournament. Unfortunately, there were only 29 players who signed up. If there were 3 more players, everything would have been so much easier! But now, the organizers had to figure out 1st round "bye"s and, if necessary, "bye"s for other rounds as well. Well they did take care of it ultimately. Considering all these "bye"s and what not, how many matches were played? There is a regular way of figuring this out and an easy way. I'm more interested in the easy solution.

    I am from the other end. I think that the feeling of the presence of ghosts or any other spirits, for that matter, is not real! But who is to say that I am correct in my belief?

    As far as I remember, angular velocity and angular speed are essentially the same thing. Angular velocity, in the strict sense, is a vector where the direction of the vector is the axis of rotation. But for our purposes, they should be treated the same.

    I guess the problem boils down to a simple definition. By "speed" do we mean "linear speed" or "angular velocity"?

    You guys are awesome!!! I really enjoyed the exchange of ideas including the cocky ones. The 2 key factors here are: 1. The lion is 4 times faster than you 2. He anticipates your every move with a zero response time, which means he will be at the spot you are most likely to cross the circle Also, do remember that while the lion can run 4 times faster than you, he doesn’t necessarily have to. He will always try to anticipate your move.

    How do you attach a drawing so that it is hidden (like a spoiler)? Being a Newbie, I didn't realize that the attachment would show.

    My mistake. The lion's speed is 4 times yours - not twice, as originally stated. Sorry for the confusion!

    You are at the center of a unit circle (radius=1). A hungry lion is on the circumference and for reasons unknown can only run on the edge of the circle. He is, however, twice as fast as you are and his reflexes are instant (response time=0). So, in whichever direction you start to run, he will instantly run towards that spot on the circle that you are most likely to cross. Is there any way you can escape? (To keep things simple, please consider the lion and yourself as point entities!)
