A classical mechanics problem by A Former Brilliant Member

A car is moving at a constant speed of 40 km/hr 40 \text{ km/hr} along a straight road which heads towards a large vertical wall and makes a sharp 9 0 90^\circ turn by the side of the wall. A fly on the wall starts flying at a constant speed of 100 km/hr 100 \text{ km/hr} when the car is 20 km 20\text{ km} away, flies until it reaches the glass pane of the car and returns to the wall at the same speed. It continues to fly between the car and the wall till the car makes the 9 0 90^\circ turn.

Find the number of trips it has made between the car and the wall. If you think the answer is infinite enter 12345 as answer.


The answer is 12345.
