A man jumped 150 feet entirely under his own power and landed safely. How did he do it?
Note, there may be more than one right answer to this question. The idea here is to get you to think a little differently, not to solve a logic or math problem.
I'm posting one puzzle, riddle, math, or statistical problem a day. Try to answer each one and post your answers in the comments section. I'll post the answer the next day. Even if you have the same answer as someone else, feel free to put up your answer, too!

Two possibilities:
ReplyDeleteHe was on the moon (lower gravity)
He jumped off a 150 foot bridge using a bungie cord or a parachute.
he jumped 2 or 3 feet at a time
ReplyDeleteOr 75 people sat along the sidelines with their legs outstrecthed, and the jumper successfully launched himself over 150 "feet"?
ReplyDeleteI like that one...
ReplyDeleteThese were some great answers! The answer I didn't see was the one I had, he was a long jumper (or is that high jumper?) on skis.
ReplyDeletethe first thing i thought of was that he jumped over 25 ants, which have 6 feet each.
