If I were to ask you which animal in the world is the fastest, it’s probable you’d come up with the cheetah, the fastest land animal in the world, a big cat that takes three seconds to go from the speed of nought, to the speed of 68 miles per hour, a big cat that can turn in mid-air while sprinting, a seriously impressive cat.

And then, if I posed an easier question about the difference between the speed of a hare and a tortoise, you would all agree that the hare is the faster of the two.

We base that conclusion on the impressive speed of the hare when running.

We use a short-term, impressive bound to determine our answer, not factoring in the rest of his day.

So perhaps all is not as we imagine.
