The First Cause
A town is about to be invaded. It has to be captured. The invader troop has taken its final position in the outskirts of the town. No one knows the exact number of soldiers in the troop. It might be many, even close to infinity. Soldiers have lined up neatly by their commander in one single line. It seems that everything is set for an easy conquer. Only a major move by the soldiers is needed. They seem to be waiting for their commander's signal to start moving toward the town. The commander gives the signal
Sir! I saw your signal and I am fully aware of my duties. I will start moving but only when the soldier on my left, Soldier No. 2, makes a move. If he does I will immediately follow his steps and attack the town.
