We know who wins this race but why? (see if your answer is better than mine)

That does of course depend on the conditions of the race.

True, but for most things in life, error ratio goes up the faster you go.
Take chess, for example.
For example the chances of twisting your ankle go up when you run but would you bet on that happening in a race where the other contestant is a walker?

The tortoise walks slowly where he needs to and wins. Why? Because the tortoise knew where to go.
