TIQ: A duel is taking place, and the duelists are standing at a distance of x from each other. Each duelist has only one shot. The probability of hitting the target depends on the distance and is represented by the corresponding functions a(x) and b(x) for each duelist. It is known that as they close the distance to x = 0, the probability of hitting for both duelists becomes 1. What strategy should each duelist choose?

TIQ: A plane flies from point a to point b, then immediately flies back in the opposite direction. In which case will the total flight time be longer: when there is a constant wind (for example, blowing from point b to point a) or when there is no wind? Additional Question: What happens if the wind speed is equal to the speed of the plane?
