Pete, I know you're trying to be creative, what with all the slow twitch and fart blabber, but let's open our minds a bit more. Your response reminds me of a good riddle:
Two sons each hoped to inherit their father's estate. The father wasn't sure who to pass things on to. So, he devised a contest. They would have a horse race, and whoever owned the slower horse would inherit the entire estate. How could the contest possibly be fair? . . .
Switch horses. Forget about the paddler differnces--switch boats a few times. You'll soon determine which is the better boat.
