How much higher would the nail be?
Assuming the nail was hammered into the trunk of the tree and not on the top of the tree. In this case, the tree's growth in height would not affect the height of the nail on the trunk. Therefore, the nail would still be at the same height as where John had hammered it in at age six, regardless of tRead more

The solution to this classic puzzle is that the three people sitting down to have tea were a grandfather, his son, and his grandson. Therefore, the two fathers and two sons in the riddle actually refer to only three people.
Here’s how it works: The grandfather is a father to one of the sons and a father to the father of the other son. This means that there are three generations present: the grandfather, his son (who is a father), and his grandson (who is a son).
When the puzzle states that “two fathers and two sons sat down to take tea,” it is referring to the grandfather, who is a father and a grandfather, and his son, who is also a father. The grandson is the other son. So, there are two fathers (the grandfather and his son) and two sons (the son and the grandson), which makes a total of three people.
Since they had exactly three cups of tea and each person had a cup of tea, it means that each person had one cup of tea. Therefore, the grandfather, his son, and his grandson sat down to have tea, and each of them had a cup of tea.

This puzzle may seem tricky at first, but with a bit of creative thinking, you can solve it easily!
Here’s one way to approach it:
1. Start by folding the rectangular sheet of paper in half lengthwise (i.e., so that the two short edges meet). This will create a crease in the middle of the paper.
2. Unfold the paper, and then fold it again, this time widthwise (i.e., so that the two long edges meet). You should now have four sections of paper that are all the same size, separated by two creases.
3. Take your scissors and cut along one of the creases that runs parallel to the short edges of the paper. This will divide the paper into two pieces.
4. You should now have two pieces of paper that are both twice as long as they are wide. But how can you make sure that the ratio of length to width is 1:2 in both pieces?
5. Here’s the trick: take one of the pieces of paper and fold it in half lengthwise (i.e., so that the two short edges meet). Unfold it again, and you should see a crease running down the middle of the paper.
6. Cut along this crease with your scissors. This will divide the paper into two pieces that are both the same size and shape as the other piece you cut earlier.
7. Now you have four pieces of paper, all of which have a length-to-width ratio of 1:2!
So there you have it – with just one cut of the scissors, you can transform a rectangular sheet of paper into four pieces, all of which have the desired ratio of length to width.
