    Q21. A man and his boy are walking side by side and both step out with their right feet first.
    The boy walks 3 paces while his dad walks 2.
    When will they both put their left feet forward together?

    If not after the first step, then never.

    They're walking at a ratio of 1.5 steps to 1. So whenever the dad steps with his left foot, his son is half way through a step. They will therefore only step together after the dad makes two steps, back onto his right foot.

    Does that make sense?

    They both stepped out with their right foot so never. Their right feet will move together every 2 paces but unless one of them stops/intentionally walks differently they'll never move their left feet together.

    All the above are incorrect.

    It does but there is no correct answer in there as far as I can tell. Need more info.

    Ok.

    Assuming that the initial right step doesn't count, we'll take the next step as the first stap. This means that every left step the father takes is an odd step, and every right step is even.

    As a half multiplied by an odd number never makes an integer value, they will never make a left step at the same time. For example, when the dad takes 5 steps, the son takes 5 x 1.5 = 7.5 steps. The only time they take a step at the same time is when the dad makes an even step, but as an even step is made with the right foot, they will never step the left foot at the same time.

    That is unless the dad gets happy slapped by a poodle.

    The answer should be never as the full cycle would be:

    D-R-R-R-L-L-L-R-R-R-L-L-L
    S-R-R-L-L-R-R-L-L-R-R-L-L

    Then the full cycle would start again starting from a synchronised right foot start.

    No one likes you, so you're not getting a cake or candles. And buying one for yourself is extremely sad.

    Now how are you certain?

    Happy B-day anyway you old git ;)

    Candles don't have fire, they have a flame. "blow out the fire on the cake little girly, then suck my ****" said the clown at the 16th birthday party of Miss Debbie Dallas Junior.

    Only thick foreigners ask for "fire" when needing a light for a ciggy or a joint.

    One blows out a candle one doesn't extinguish it.

    Take back the 3 points Admin - Mr Warehouse is not worthy of them.
