A young man lives in the town of Bee near a railway station. He has two friends, one staying at Cee and the other at Dee. To visit the friend in Cee he takes a train on the downtown side of the platform; to visit the friend living in Dee he takes a train on the uptown side of the same platform. Since both friends are equally dear to him, he lets chance determine which friend he'll visit. He reaches the station at a random moment each Sunday afternoon and takes the first train that comes along.
Curiously, though both the trains arrive at the station equally often — every 10 minutes, he finds himself spending more time with the friend in Cee. In fact, on an average he goes there 9 times out of 10.
Can you think of a reason why this should be so?
Dimdima is the Sanskrit word for ‘drumbeat’. In olden days, victory in battle was heralded by the beat of drums or any important news to be conveyed to the people used to be accompanied with drumbeats.
