Logic problem
You're moonwalking on one of those moving walkways they have at the airport while facing the wrong way, but moving slightly slower than the rate of the moving sidewalk. Do you exit heels first or toes first?

No wait, Toes.

Wait.

2. Toes.
Definitely toes. Especially if it's not heels.

5. In this problem, it's assumed that you don't fall down and exit chin first

6. Slidewalk moves left-to-right
You're facing left (the "wrong" way), but moonwalking left-to-right, therefore adding your moonwalking velocity to the slidewalk velocity. Your net velocity is left-to-right, you're facing left, therefore your heels hit first.

after your heels snag on the end of the walk and you fall on your ass.

11. By definition, if you're moonwalking.
An ass is definitely exiting.

10. I exit over the side of the rails, head first, because
that's where I would be thrown by all the other commuters trying to use the damned moving sidewalk I'm moonwalking on.
