Lenny was out at the street one morning when he saw a rare sight: a car that has wheels with spokes driving down the road. As he jogged closer for a good look, he noticed the spokes on the top were going so fast they were blurred. But when he looked at the bottom half of the wheel, the spokes appeared to be going so much slower he could have counted them. If all the spokes were on the same wheel, how did this happen?

Hint:

Think of the treads on a tank.
