2 men and a boy started a never ending race. One of the men can run super fast while the other man can run way faster than the boy. The boy is the slowest runner. What are they?

Why this works

This riddle plays cleverly on the concept of timekeeping. The "two men" represent the minute and hour hands of a clock, with the minute hand being the faster runner because it completes a full rotation more quickly than the hour hand. The "boy," being the slowest, symbolizes the second hand, which moves at a steady pace but still completes its cycle faster than the hour hand. The never-ending race is a metaphor for the continuous passage of time, where each hand has its own distinct speed in the clock’s perpetual motion.
