| Mar 5, 2015 at 7:00 | comment | added | Moti | @Dragonista Your examples are not relevant since the number involved is critical. You are missing the key point: One movement of a lion closes the range to more than one Zebra. On its face it seems that by creating a chase team of lion you could circle a zebra and force it into a trap. The challenge how this is achieved. | |

Have lion 1 chase zebra 1 in zebra 1's strip for one turn. Then have lion 2 chase zebra 2 for significantly longer than the distance between zebra 1's line and zebra 2's line. At this point lion2 can enter zebra 1's strip and cause zebra 1 to be sandwitched between the two lions. | |

| Feb 17, 2015 at 17:53 | comment | added | JiK | What strips are you referring to? Do you mean the strategy used in the answer to the original question? | |
| Feb 17, 2015 at 17:18 | comment | added | The Dragonista | Initially the zebra will not be in the same horizontal strip as any lion.Whenever a lion enters the vertical strip in which the zebra is present then the zebra will flee vertically. And if the lion chooses the 2nd zebra then it will further have to move horizontally till it reaches a point so that the zebra is in the same vertical strip as itself, here again the zebra will flee vertically if the lion chooses to chase it. | |
| Feb 17, 2015 at 17:00 | comment | added | JiK | I don't see how your strategy generalizes even for three zebras. For example, why can't one lion chase one zebra until the lion is on a line with two other zebras, and then chase the closer of the two zebras until it reaches the other zebra, when the two zebras cannot escape from the one lion, as they move more slowly together. | |
