LOLINSAN AND THE BURNING ISLAND OF DOOM
lolinsan(just a name) is hanging out on a heavily forested island that's really narrow: it's a narrow strip of land that's ten miles long. let's label one end of the strip A, and the other end B. a fire has started at A, and the fire is moving toward B at the rate of 1 mph. at the same time, there's a 2 mph wind blowing in the direction from A toward B. what can lolinsan do to save himself from burning to death?! assume that lolinsan can't swim and there are no boats, jetcopters, teleportation devices, etc.. (if he does nothing, lolinsan will be toasted after at most 10 hours, since 10 miles / 1 mph = 10 hours)
