A Tibetan monk leaves the monastery at 7:00 am and  takes his usual path to the top of the mountain, arriving at  7:00 pm. The following morning, he starts at 7:00 am at the  top and takes the same path back, arriving at the monastery  at 7:00 pm. Use the Intermediate Value Theorem to show  that there is a point on the path that the monk will cross at exactly the same time of day on both days.
