Feb 19, 2015 at 20:08 comment added glibdud As JiK said, the zebras will need to stay more than 200m apart in order for there not to exist a point P that is within 100m of each of them. Also, you don't prove that it's not possible for the lion to force a zebra to jump within 200m of another zebra. Just being a convex shape won't do it, as the lion should be able to eventually get outside (as only one zebra can move at a time) and start chasing the zebras in toward each other.
Feb 16, 2015 at 15:03 comment added Duncan Keep in mind the zebra ALSO has to be 100m away from the lion :)
Feb 16, 2015 at 14:03 comment added Rok Kralj I mean 100m apart. Thanks. Let me think a little. :)
Feb 16, 2015 at 14:02 comment added JiK I guess that the lion can start chasing one zebra and get outside the convex shape formed by other 99 zebras, and then it can start chasing one of the other zebras, forcing it to go inside the shape, so the shape would not be convex anymore. Am I missing something?
Feb 16, 2015 at 14:00 comment added JiK "all zebras have to be more than 50m away" Presumably you mean 200 m?
