Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

Ming is the biggest crawler in the firm. But loved and respected for it, because Barry's sponsored charity crawls are legendary.

Last week he presented a cheque for £1,100 in the shape of a 1.5m (5ft) arrow to the Swindon Hospice. The cash was raised by a 32km (20mile), 24-hour second attempt on the World Hands and Knees Crawling Record.

Sponsors included Ryder Truck and ERF but Barry is feeling sore at failing to beat the world record of 45km (28 miles), held by a Birmingham man. However, not a quitter, he is crawling into the new year when training begins for a third attempt in June. Boxing gloves will protect his hands, and he may bump into the Hawk, crawling for a different reason. Says Barry: "I began crawling in 1987 and haven't looked back since."
