Let's mark the corners of the triangle as A,B,C. There are
total 8 ways in which ants can move.
1. A->B, B->C, C->A
2. A->B, B->C, C->B
3. A->B, B->A, C->A
4. A->B, B->A, C->B
5. A->C, C->B, B->A
6. A->C, C->B, B->C
7. A->C, C->A, B->A
8. A->C, C->A, B->C
Out of which, there are only two cases under which the ants
won't collide :
? A->B, B->C, C->A
? A->C, C->B, B->A

Don't answer. Just hang up the phone and look for a sharp object.
I thought the ants (or robots, in my case) could reverse their paths randomly at any point like so many toy robots that move pseudo-randomly.
Dang it! I really wanted that job too.

The landlady told him that she wanted one link of the gold chain at the end of one week, two gold links at the end of two weeks, three gold links at the end of three weeks and so on.
