A student took a rectangular piece of paper with length equal to one meter and width equal to five centimeters. The student brought the ends together, turning one end 180 degrees and gluing the surfaces to create a figure called a Möbius strip. On one side of this strip, the student placed a flea and an ant. It is known that if the flea and the ant move in different directions on the Möbius strip, they will meet each other in 2 minutes. However, if they move in the same direction, they will meet in 7 minutes. Given that the flea is faster than the ant and both move at constant speeds, determine the speed of the flea.

Let $\leftarrow$ denote the left arrow key on a standard keyboard. If one opens a text editor and types the keys "ab$\leftarrow$ cd $\leftarrow \leftarrow$ e $\leftarrow \leftarrow$ f", the result is "faecdb". We say that a string $B$ is [i]reachable[/i] from a string $A$ if it is possible to insert some amount of $\leftarrow$'s in $A$, such that typing the resulting characters produces $B$. So, our example shows that "faecdb" is reachable from "abcdef". Prove that for any two strings $A$ and $B$, $A$ is reachable from $B$ if and only if $B$ is reachable from $A$.
