There are 3 ants at 3 corners of a triangle, they randomly start moving towards another corner. ..

Answer / guest

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

Answer / some guy who hates his life

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.

Ali Baba had four sons, to whom he bequeathed his 39 camels, with the proviso that the legacy be divided in the following way : The oldest son was to receive one half the property, the next a quarter, the third an eighth and the youngest one tenth. The four brothers were at a loss as how to divide the inheritance among themselves without cutting up a camel, until a stranger appeared upon the scene. Dismounting from his camel, he asked if he might help, for he knew just what to do. The brothers gratefully accepted his offer. Adding his own camel to Ali Baba's 39, he divided the 40 as per the will. The oldest son received 20, the next 10, the third 5 and the youngest 4. One camel remained : this was his, which he mounted and rode away. Scratching their heads in amazement, they started calculating. The oldest thought : is not 20 greater than the half of 39? Someone must have received less than his proper share ! But each brother discovered that he had received more than his due. How is it possible?
