is the Horizon?...and other puzzlers
|
|
Description
|
| A
physicist on a cruiseliner sailing sourth from Peele Point to Peele Island
in Lake Erie once overheard a conversation between a parent and child.
The child asked, "How far away is the horizon?" The parent replied, "About
100 miles!". Do you think this is reasonable? We'll ponder this and a couple
other puzzlers to get our minds limber for final exams. |
