Abstract
This article studies a class of pursuit problems admitting both a simple geometric solution as well as a more general analytic treatment. The results are specialized to demonstrate solutions to certain elementary problems typically posed to high schoolers, although a full analytic treatment, requiring some more comfort with geometry and calculus, is typically avoided at that stage.
