Here the tortoise has a head start but its speed is lesser than his competitor
T: tortoise
R: rabbit
Now to win rabbit has to cross tortoise: ie it has to come to the position of tortoise and then go ahead: look at the figure below: rabbit has to go first point ‘B’ where the rabbit is and then go ahead. But by the time rabbit reach B tortoise moved to C: now the whole thing can be seen fresh: R has to come to the position of tortoise and then go ahead : ie rabitt has to go C and then ahead but by the time it reaches C tortoise move to D ::::: So tortoise will be always ahead of the rabbit :::::: but as we know if the distances are sufficiently large rabbit must win:::: what is wrong with logic

Zeno was a greek philosopher who first asked this question and similar questions (he would tell a soldier to run away from arrow fire because then it could never catch them up... they still died...).

Zeno's paradoxes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

His paradoxes still are talked about today, and gives philosophers a lot to think about in terms of the nature of distance and time. His theory might be wrong, but his thinking was genius!
