guide to the solution

1. race.rb - original solution driver, just call it like ruby race.rb DISTANCE

2. race-stat.rb - Monte Carlo race, call like ruby race-stat.rb, stop the competition by issuing INT signal (Ctrl+C on most sane systems). This version will run multiple races and collect simple statistics to prove Cat's superiority over Dog.

3. race-sim.rb - solution using discrete event simulation - makes little sense in the simple case as formulated, but could be useful if the animals were more alive and get tired or agitated and their speed would vary from leap to leap. Call it like ruby race-sim.rb DISTANCE

4. html/index.html - visualisation of the race using javascript and paper.js. The algorithm combines overshooting formula form (1) and a very simple animation system. Distance depends on browser width, race can be restarted by clicking anywhere or resizing the window.
