Two ants, one starting at $ (-1, 1) $, the other at $ (1, 1) $, walk to the right along the parabola $ y = x^2 $ such that their midpoint moves along the line $ y = 1 $ with constant speed $1$. When the left ant first hits the line $ y = \frac {1}{2} $, what is its speed?

A dog standing at the centre of a circular arena sees a rabbit at the wall. The rabbit runs round the wall and the dog pursues it along a unique path which is determined by running at the same speed and staying on the radial line joining the centre of the arena to the rabbit. Show that the dog overtakes the rabbit just as it reaches a point one-quarter of the way around the arena.
