When Achilles arrives at C point, the turtle arrives at D point. When Achilles arrives at... Achilles can’t catch up with the turtle.

━━━ My memory

Moricchi

I would talk about my memory in my junior high school days. I was a member of a soft tennis club when I was a junior high school student. My club was the weakest in my area. My junior high school is a private school. So my school puts study before sports. Of course, we can't practice long enough to beat other clubs. However it was an excuse. Just about three years ago, games by junior players began. There were team and individual matches in the tennis tournament. The team competition was done as follows. One club selected three doubles pairs. In short, if two pairs of my club would win, my club would win. In the first match, first, my club's pair lost. But a miracle happened. Next, our second pair won and so did my club's last pair. So my club won for the first time. I was deeply impressed. Finally, surely, my club was the weakest. But we had a wonderful experience.
