The gods have heard rumours* that Achilles might not be as fast at running as they thought, so they decide to set him a task.
He must run a race on a special 100m racetrack. The special thing about this racetrack is that every time Achilles has run 10m along the race track, the whole track instantly stretches, as if made of rubber, by 100m.
Now Achilles can run indefinitely as a constant 10m/s. He really is a fast runner — good endurance too.
Have the gods set Achilles an impossible task? Can he ever finish the race?
Please give a reason for your answer, and don't forget to put your answer in
*something about Achilles not being able to catch up to a tortoise.
