(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); A mouse is sitting at one end of an infinitely-stretchable rubber sheet that is initially one kilometer long. One end is nailed to a wall, and the other end is tied to a Japanese bullet train. The mouse begins to walk forward at a constant speed of 10 centimeters/second. At the same time the train begins to move forward at the constant speed of 100 meters/second, stretching the rubber sheet.

Question 1: Will the mouse ever reach the end?
Question 2: If so, how long will it take?

Showing all work and logic, the first person to correctly answer Q1 will receive 50,000 vBux. The first person to correctly answer Q2 will receive 250,000 vBux. The same person can, but does not have to, answer both questions.
