On the $1$ km long ridge of Mount SPAM, there are $2006$ lemmings. In the beginning, each of them walks along the ridge in one of the two possible directions with speed $1$ m/s . When two lemmings meet, they both reverse the directions they walk but keep their walking speed. When some lemming reaches the end of the ridge, he falls down and dies. Find the least upper bound for the time it can take until all the lemmings are dead.

Consider ten concentric circles and ten rays as in the following figure. At the points where the inner circle is intersected by the rays write successively, in direction clockwise, the numbers $1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10$. In the next circle we write the numbers $11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19,20$ successively, and so on successively until the last round were we write the numbers $91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100$ successively. In this orde, the numbers $1, 11, 21, 31, 41, 51, 61, 71, 81, 91$ are in the same ray, and similarly for the other rays. In front of $50$ of those $100$ numbers, we use the sign ''$-$'' such as: a) in each of the ten rays, exist exactly $5$ signs ''$-$'' , and also b) in each of the ten concentric circles, to be exactly $5$ signs ''$-$''. Prove that the sum of the $100$ signed numbers that occur, equals zero. [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/9/d/ffee6518fcd1b996c31cf06d0ce484a821b4ae.gif[/img]
