Default (small rant) Math gurus..How long does it take for...
one 18 wheel semi going 55.1995 MPH to pass another 18 wheel semi going 55.1994 MPH? I was unable to determine the answer (could it be infinity?) as after several excruciating miles I got off an exit and no longer had time to ponder the answer.

Assuming a truck is about 60ft long, it'd be about 114 hours. That would be just to get by. Probably another day for a complete pass.

Exactly. Real men pass on the shoulder, then scratch a little bit when downshifting into 4th (or 5th) (OK,OK, 3rd for you c-3 and c-4 "4+3" drivers) as they pull back onto the roadway.
