Marathon: Man vs. Cheetah

The other solutions write them as if it's a biology problem. I assumed this is a logic problem: a cheetah doesn't know what a marathon is, so will most likely unable to reach the finish line because it wouldn't know that it's supposed to follow the track.

EDIT: The problem has now been changed to be a Biology problem (earlier it was Logic problem).

EDIT2: And now it's back a Logic problem. Really?

Cheetahs are blazing fast, no doubt, and in a sprint a cheetah would blow a human away.A cheetah can reach a top speed of around 70 miles per hour in about 4 seconds. But, over longer distances, a cheetah will struggle to maintain its top speed without risking total exhaustion. Their large heart and nostrils enable them to accelerate swiftly, but these attributes don’t lend themselves to endurance running, so a man has more chances of winning a marathon over a cheetah.

ok I admit that humans are good long distance runners i.e. we have good stamina, but isn't that possible that the cheetah sprints to the point he can, rest, cool himself a while and start running and keep on doing this process? I mean to say that in one sprint cheetah would go far away than a human. till the time the cheetah has cooled, the human still would not be able to get around the cheetah. By this way can the cheetah win?

I think that there's no certain answer. If the cheetah knows the rules I think it it would also know that a marathon is won by jogging not sprinting so it wouldn't sprint annd lose it's power.

Since cheetah cannot run at his top speed for a long time but man has stamina to run for a long time so man will win the race

Its all about stamina.

The cheetah can't sweat. Its enlarged heart and lungs and leg muscles are all designed for sprinting. It could do about 2 miles at a time in 90 seconds each, but wouldn't have enough rest period to stay ahead. There's actually documentation on some Kenyan goat herders that ran down some poaching cheetahs, on foot, in less than 5 miles and captured them.

Cheetah can run faster but not longer. Man cannot run faster but can run longer. The sweat keeps his body cool and that is not seen in the case of cheetah.

Cheetahs have a limit if they will run long distance they might face brain hammerage due to internal bleeding caused by the high pressured blood entering the brain

Cheetahs r good short distance runner like sprinters

The cheetah will not know what the marathon is, and they are also not long-distance runners.

Logic???? This is Biology! Anyways,the cheetah can't win because of hunger or thirst or being dehydrated. If this is logic, the human will because cheetahs are dumbbbb.

Does the cheetah have any reason to finish the race? Wouldn't he just walk off?

Well i find no maths in this problem

the real answer is The cheetah is the fastest land mammal in the world. The cheetah, can reach speeds of between 112 and 120 km/h in short bursts covering distances up to 500 m. It has the ability to accelerate from 0 to over 100 km/h in three seconds.

In terms of miles per hour, they can reach around 70 to 75 mph.

However, they can sustain the speed for only short durations, typically around a minute. If they continue to run at top speed for over that time, they will die of exhaustion.

I think man will win the race because man has 2 legs which can be helpfull to accelerate.

The Tortoise or the Hare?

Cheetah is faster than the human for sure, but animals like cheetah and tiger cannot run so fast for longer distances. They tend to lose their breath very shortly. Humans, on the other hand, due to the structure of their legs and lungs are more like a horse or a camel and can run with that speed for larger distances. If humans decided to hunt, the big cats will never be able to outrun humans over longer distances.

the cheetah won't eat the man because that's against the rules of the marathon, but the man can do anything by the rule, so he can break the legs or can kill the cheetah

Isn't it a good logic ?

Cheetah has low stamina

they don't have sweat glands.

Cheetahs are built to have the agility and speed while human are on top when it comes to stamina.

The problem says its marathon not sprinting race. In that case what is the possibility that cheetah will start sprinting and would not jog. In case it sprints whats the possibility that human would not sprint and only jog. Won't he run out of energy. So the answer depends upon how each of them wishes complete the marathon I.e. by jogging or by sprinting. Till that is given either of them have equally likely possibility of winner ng.

Stamina always wins long-course.

Although Cheetahs have the top land speed of any mammal, they lack the endurance to stay at that speed, and would run out of energy, allowing the human to win.

Cheetah can win short race but not marathon!

Lol!!!! What if the cheetah can't eat the man.... The man can kill the cheetah!!!! It isn't against the rules. As Ivan koswara said it is a logical one but it has been changed to a biological one.
