***
In the repeat race, after running for 100 meters, Larry is at the 89-meter mark, and Susan is at the 90 meter mark. Larry has 11 meters to go and Susan has 10 meters to go to finish the race. After Larry runs an additional 10 meters he is at the 99 meter mark and so is Susan. Larry will the race by 0.1 because for every meter he runs, he beats Susan by 0.1 meter
