Snail race
 
You have two snails, Pepe and Mac, and want to race them in a 10 meters-long race (for snails, it’s probably a marathon). When Pepe crosses the finish line, Mac is only at 9 meters. You race them again so Mac can win. Assume both snails maintain a constant speed. You need to handicap the race but cannot shorten the distance. How do you decide to handicap the race so Mac wins?
