Friday 13th March:
Sadly noone solved the puzzle correctly! Though thanks to all those who took part. Maybe next time?
The solution was Peter wins.
If it took him say 10 seconds to travel the 100m. When he has to run 110m at the same speed he does it in 11 seconds. Mary has only travelled 90m when Peter finishes after 10 seconds. So Mary travels 9m each second. So when Peter finishes this time in 11 seconds. At the same speed she only travels 99m, 1m short. So Peter wins.
