Personally, I think it's about time for turtle soup and some rabbit roasting on an open fire.
Also, before talking to Zeno, make sure you have someone with you fluent in ancient Greek.

To assume it to make an ass out of You and me... well according to Churchill (I think) anyway...

To ask Xenos opinion, you just have to make use of his paradox.
Simply set off running at a constant speed towards a set target.
The amount of time it takes to cover the half distance will get smaller and smaller until time itself stops (after an infinte amount of half distances, which will probably take an infinite amount of time)
(disclaimer: Stopping time is probably not a good idea so the author accepts no responsibility for anyone stopping time, whatsoever, under any circumstances.)
As you approach your target, a quick reminder that you are moving at a constant speed will lead you to realise that the only way you can keep moving at you constant speed is for time to move in the other direction.
Hence, if you go very fast, and if you can find him, and speak greek,
you can ask Xeno whatever you like.
