Problem of the Week

PROBLEM 210

Take a rubber band, cut it, and hold one end in your right hand and the other end in your left.  If you stretch it, so that the right end moves to the right and the left end moves to the left, must there be a point on the band that ends up where it started?  Please explain your answer.
