Centipede's dilemma
« on: January 11, 2010, 08:52:42 PM »
One day a centipede was rambling along the forest floor, thinking about nothing in particular. All of a sudden he hears a little voice saying “Excuse me, but how on earth do you manage to do that?”
“How do I manage to do what?” says the centipede.
“How do you manage to coordinate all those 100 legs so that you can walk easily?”
“I don’t know,” said the centipede, “I never thought about it much. I guess that I… I move… I take this foot and I… ” The centipede promptly falls over, never to walk again.

Trying to understand the point of the story? Is the Centipede Ganguly and are you saying that he achieved all those wins without thinking about them (as Kban has always claimed)?
