And he ultimately can’t go any faster than the kid in front of him. Once I’ve closed the gap between us, I can’t go any faster than the rate at which the kid in front of me is going. But I can only do that until I’m bumping the kid’s rucksack (and if I did that he’d sure as hell tell his mother). If he continues walking at the same rate, and if I speed up, I can reduce the gap-and maybe reduce the total length of the column, depending upon what’s happening up ahead. Can I shorten the length of the line? Well, between me and the kid ahead of me is a gap of about five feet. But what happens when someone moves faster than Ron? Aren’t the longer or faster steps supposed to make up for the spreading? Don’t the differences average out? Suppose I walk faster. If one of the boys takes a step that’s half an inch shorter than the one Ron took, the length of the whole line could be affected. It wouldn’t even have to be as obvious as when Dave slowed down. Every time someone moves slower than Ron, the line lengthens. That’s when I begin to understand what’s happening. Which means the entire line has grown by 20 feet. In front of him, Ron continues onward, oblivious. why can’t we all just walk at the same pace as Ron and stay together? I’m watching the line when something up ahead catches my eye.
