N people walk on a one-direction road. Let Xi be the speed for ith people,
where Xi independently, identically follows some distribution f(x). If Xi>
Xj, then i will catch up j and keep the same speed as j, so they will crowd
together. The question is what is the expected number of people crowd
tighter after a long time.
