Understanding arbitrage and arbitrage houses in takeover contexts
Arbitrage exploits small price gaps between related securities or exchanges. It usually combines a buy with a short sale to lock in a risk free profit. In cash bids like PepsiCo for Rheingold the move is not pure arbitrage, but traders may profit from anticipated price adjustments if the deal clears. Arbitrage houses trade for themselves and for institutions, while large brokers run arbitrage desks.

Train passes through tunnel length problem
A train 0.25 miles long at 25 mph takes time to clear a 0.02 mile tunnel. It must cover its own length plus tunnel length before fully exiting. The total distance needed equals 0.25 plus 2 plus the remaining length outside, yielding 3 miles. Time equals distance over speed, thus 3 miles at 25 mph equals 0.12 hours, or 7.2 minutes.
