Here´s a riddle:  
 
Imagine a rubber band that is attached to a wall on one end and is attached to a horse at  
the other end. On the rubber, near the wall, there is a snail. Both the snail and the horse  
start moving, with typical speeds – with the rubbed band being infinitely stretchable.Can the snail reach the horse?

Hey NewTone.  
I think it'sbeen quite nicely dealt with here.
 
A very nice question though.
