Kosh, go ahead and guess, I’m curious too.

I answered because I knew the answer, and that’s it. I don’t want to make any predictions because it will either be nonsense or another childish foolishness. And besides, I need to draw, Tuesday is coming soon.

It doesn't matter, Druzh does that all the time too. Go ahead and guess.

And what about Tuesday?

Well, since no one wants to propose a riddle, I'll try to come up with one.
A bug crawls along a rubber band that is 1 meter long at a speed of one centimeter per minute. Every minute, the rubber band is instantly stretched by another meter at both ends. Will the bug ever reach the end of the rubber band? An answer without justification will not be accepted. Of course, we have an ideal rubber band that can stretch to infinity and an ideal bug that can crawl forever. :)

Is that bug crawling from one end to the other, Hermit?

A bug is crawling from one end to the other, Hermit?

Yes.

Menti, my comic is released on Tuesdays.

Answer: No. Reasoning: Stretching the rope by one meter per minute means that the snail, in terms of percentage of the rope's length, will remain in the same place. That is, in the first minute, it will crawl 1 cm, which is 1% of the length. The rope will stretch, 1% of the length will remain, but in the next minute, the snail will crawl half a percent... This results in an infinite series, like the one with Achilles and the tortoise. The snail is moving towards the end of the rope, but it will not reach it. Only after an infinite amount of time, yes, but that doesn't make sense.

What you wrote, Ment, cannot be considered a satisfactory answer, but your reasoning might prompt someone else to come up with an answer that could be considered satisfactory.

Because the snail isn't even trying to reach the end of the whip; it's just trying to crawl through the first 2%? And that's true.

I'm waiting to see what else they write. It hasn't been counted yet.

It won't converge because it's a divergent series.

Yes, it's a tricky question, in my opinion. If it seems like the answer is no, then the answer is yes! My guess is that the thread is pulled with the same force in both directions. That is, if 1% of the distance has been covered, then that percentage will remain covered, no matter how much you pull. During the next time interval, the bug will crawl less, but it will still move forward. And since it's not exactly a material point, the end will be reached.

Hmm, I'm curious to see how you're going to refute that...
