Walking Together, Miles Apart A husband and wife go for a walk. They walk side-by-side the entire time—never passing each other, never lagging. They could’ve held hands the whole way. They walk for one hour. At the end, the wife says, “Wow, I walked four miles.” The husband says, “No way—I walked five or six miles.” And here’s the kicker: They’re both right.
