Question 37

A pond has $2020$ lily pads arranged in a circle. At time zero, two frogs (Anthony and Clare) share the same lily pad. Every minute, Anthony jumps over $99$ lily pads in an anti-clockwise direction, to land on a pad $100$ removed from where the jump started. At the same time, Clare jumps over $100$ lily pads in a clockwise direction, to land on a pad $101$ removed from where the jump started.
What is the first time that Anthony and Clare are again within five lily pads of each other?
