The problem was given to me in my freshman physics class and stated as
a bird flying between two trains which are running to collision.  There
was no mention of the Great Mathematician, though.

I think it is a problem from Halliday & Resnick's "Physics", but I don't
have the book anymore (sold it for thirty bucks), so I can't really check.
