Guest Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 A man is walking across a hallway.(Let's say, 5 feet long) If the man is walking at 1 foot each step, and only takes 4 steps, how can he get to the end of the hall successfully?

0 TwoaDay Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 (edited) solution one: he starts one step down the hallway 2: he jumps 3. mabey by one foot each step you mean he uses one of his feet to step each time and his steps can be any length 4. or (someone could explain this better) taking four steps gets him five feet Edited February 16, 2008 by TwoaDay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 bonanova Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Getting across the hallway means he begins with his heel against one wall and ends with his toe against the opposite wall. Since his feet are one foot long, he does this in four steps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 bonanova Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 bonanova is correct, but thank you for trying Twoaday! TwoaDay anticipated what I said in his [her?] answer #4, which I didn't "get" until I thought my answer through. We share the glory on this one...
