It's 8:54. That means 6 minutes until House.

House is a paradox to geniusness.

Genuisness is a paradox to clean vocabulary.

Ingenius is paradox too; IN- (meaning not) -GENIUS.

eg. in-complete.

incubate?

...probably stems from the German use of the phrase in genii, "found in genious", related to ingenuity, genuine, the verb of being Genius.

That one only applies if he's trying to catch the tortoise itself, surely? If it was just a straightforward race even with the tortoise's head start he would win, right?

Or does the whole problem hinge on them going at constant velocity?

I haven't done maths in ages...

This paradox pretty much explains logarithms. Say Achilles only runs in bursts. The tortoise is 5m in front when he starts running, so he runs 5m. the tortoise is now a further 1m away, so he runs 1m, now the tortoise is 20cm further away. The distance between them shrinks till its as near to zero as makes no difference, but there will always be a gap between them.
