You can put this solution on YOUR website! Marty will never catch up with Isaac since
Marty is the slower and Isaac has the head start
-------------------------------------------
You can measure the distances they run and
compare them, but Isaac's head start is meaningless
------------------------------------------------
Issac:
Marty:
As long as their times are
in this ratio, they have run the same distance

By all means, get a 2nd opinion

Isaac's speed is greater than Marty's. Did you mean that Marty got a 44 m head start? This way Isaac will eventually catch up to Marty.
If so, then they will travel the same distance in 4 seconds.
