How Fast Could a Frog Swim if A Frog Could Swim?
There is a frog, dead in the middle of an island. If he swims north, the distance to the mainland is 2 meters. If he swims south, the distance to the mainland is 3 meters. If he swims east or west, the distance is 4 meters. Which way does he swim?
How I get the question is the frog is alive, but he is bang in the middle of the island. So, he is on land, thus he do not need to swim, he can hop. :)
True, but still fun. I would bet that some people were left scratching their heads for a minute or two. They may have had to re-read it a few time, too.
As you pointed out, the answer is: the dead frog is going nowhere.

Umm... if the frog is 'dead in the middle of an island', then he isn't going to swim anywhere! :)

ReplyDeleteIt's better to ask this by TELLING it.
ReplyDeleteBecause if you read it aloud and SEE it visually, you remember it even better.
