What If The World Only Had Two People? πŸ€”

If you were dropped on a completely empty Earth and only one other person was dropped on the other side, how long would it take for you to find each other? Well, if you both walked around randomly for 12 hours every day, it would take around 3,000 years to get within half a mile of each other. But if mountains or forests were in the way, you could easily miss each other, meaning you could wander around for another 3,000 years before you had another chance. To increase your odds, you should leave markers pointing out your direction. And for every day of walking, you should stop and rest for 3 days. This would give you a chance to catch up to each other if you find a marker. This way, you could meet each other after only a few decades.
