    This problem is a classic: A town is surrounded by a circular wall. There are 12 guards serving on the wall. At twelve noon, each guard leaves his watchpost and starts walking the wall in some direction, at a speed at which it would take exactly one hour to walk around the whole town. If two guards meet, they both turn around immediately and walk at the same speed in the opposite direction. Prove that at twelve midnight each guard will be back at his watchpost.
