You can now see that Xl=2 when T=1.25, so the particles do
not collide at X=2.
Now search for Yl=3 and Y2=3. You can use {{ZOOM}} Out to
move more quickly through the columns, but {{ZOOM}} In
again to find Y1=Y2=3.

Since Y1 and Y2 intersect (when Y=3) at the same value for T,
the particles collide at T=2 seconds.
