Let four Lines in a Plane represent four roads in General Position, and let one
traveler be walking along each road at a constant (but not necessarily equal to any other traveler's) speed.
Say that two travelers
and
have ``met'' if they were simultaneously at the intersection of their two roads.
Then if
has met all other three travelers
(
,
, and
) and
, in addition to meeting
, has
met
and
, then
and
have also met!
