LateralRiddle #1394
In the city marathon, Ty crossed the finish line a full minute after Leo. Nobody cheated or broke a rule, yet Ty's official time was faster. How?
Hint: Think about how a big race keeps time for thousands of runners.
Answer
Ty started farther back in the crowd, and each runner's chip times them from the moment they cross the start line.
Big races time each runner from their own start, so Ty ran the course faster.

Got you this time. Try the next one.
