"I bet I can run faster than you can," bragged Hank to his friend Bill one day
"I bet you can't," replied Bill. To prove his point Hank took Bill to the roof of the biggest building in town, nearly 30 stories high. Hank removed his watch and, holding it over the edge of the building let it drop. Quickly, in a whirl of dust, Hank dashed down the steps and moments later, reaching ground level, held out his hand and caught the watch in it. Signaling that it was his turn, Bill removed his watch and let it fall. Taking his time, he strolled to the elevator and pushed the button. A few minutes later the elevator appeared and, after stopping at several floors, finally arrived on the first floor. Stepping into the lobby, Bill stopped to get a soda from the vending machine, then calmly walked outside just in time for the watch to drop neatly into his hands. "Hey, that was amazing!" remarked Hank. "How did you do it?" "Simple," said Bill. "My watch is five minutes slow."
