Guest Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Three men walk up a hill. The second man walks twice as quickly as the first man, and the third man walks twice as quickly as the second man. Yet the first man got to the top of the hill first. How?

Because the men walked the hill on successive days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 #1 went straight up the hill, while #2 and #3 took paths long enough to cancel out the advantage. Have a happy Boxing Day! (you know who you are ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 A little outside the box I suppose, but they could be walking up different hills and the first man's hill is much smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
