Printer Friendly Version
A zookeeper devises a rubber band gun to shoot food to a monkey who is too shy to come down from the trees.
 
If the monkey does not move, should the keeper aim above, at, or below the monkey?
 
If the monkey lets go of the branch that it is holding at the instant the keeper shoots the food, should the keeper aim above, at, or below the monkey to get to the monkey in mid air?
