Solution Summary
The solution explains the notion of "relative speed" with an intuitive example. Additionally it discusses the things that govern the produced timings.
Solution Preview
Let us take a slightly different example to understand the notion of relative speed. If A walks at 4 Km/hr and B walks at 6 Km/hr, then relative speed of A with respect to B will be 4/6 and B's speed relative to A will be 6/4.
The problem is simply asking us to use the mentioned simulator and compare the time taken by different adders (adder configurations) to ...
