OK Oberdan, now for the bonus question:

What is the similarity (or difference) to a reel of three and the
velocity of the 3 balls a juggler uses during a "standard" juggling
routine. At what point are the 3 balls aligned? Please feel free to
make any assumptions you care to!

This inquiring mind is only a wee bit curious. (One of our local dancers
also juggles - it would be a bit amusing to assign him this problem to
solve.)
