There is a mouse in a long straight tube, at 3/8 of the length. A cat is sitting at a point along the extension of the line of the tube, closer to the end of the tube that the mouse is also closer to. The cat notices the mouse, and starts to run towards the tube. At the same instant, the mouse also starts to run towards one of the ends of the tube. (Both of them run at uniform speeds.) However, the mouse cannot escape: No matter which end of the tube he chooses, the cat will just catch him at the endpoint of the tube. By what factor does the cat run faster than the mouse?
