One hundred potatoes are placed on the ground in a straight line ten feet apart. The potatoes are to be picked up one at a time and placed in a container ten feet behind the line. The older competitor, Tom gives his younger opponent, Harry, the right to pick up one potato and place it in the container before Tom begins.

Calculate distance traveled by the competitors and number of potatoes each one collected. Thanks.
