What's the correct answer?

They’d meet at the mid point at the exact same time

Not necessarily at the midpoint, but it is 100% that there will be a spot where she is at the same time each day

I don't care where they meet, nor what time. All I know is that it is guaranteed

It's a semantics disagreement. Some people are reading it as "pick any place

The question does NOT ask you to pick a point.

once they intersect then they're at the same point and time

How precise are we meant to be with the time?

It comes down to how you interpret "same time"

Nope, the first option is still 100%

What's fascinating is that the example given for the correct answer is

Yep. But still funny that in order to prove the true answer the example has
