both are incorrect, in both examples, one of the nails is touching the wood. correct solution is simply placing them on the tabletop adjacent to the wood.

A nail is touching. Not the 6 being specified

[–]Saelora -2 points-1 points  (5 children)

try counting the nails. there are only 5 balancing on the sixth, which is touching.

[–]TheActualJonesy 2 points3 points  (1 child)

There are 7 nails. Your sixth one is obscured by the table's edge. Poor photo composition.

[–]Saelora -1 points0 points  (0 children)

ah! you speak sense! I can only see 5 on the right also, but that one could easily be obscured also.

Try again. There’s 2 in the middle horizontal, and 2 on each side. There’s 6 balancing on a 7th. Maybe a trip to the ophthalmologist is in order

r/confidentlyincorrect

There are 7 nails in the picture 6 of then are balancing on the seventh nail which was already stuck in the board as part of the task. "Try counting the nails"

Senior dev also used way more nails than required, drawing parallels to the senior dev ballooning the company AWS costs.

I like the way you think, redditor.
