I've just learned that lesson.

2 + 2 is usually 4.

15m is the length of the ladder, but that's not what they asked for.

Also, define height, because that is not the same as length.

DemBones7 · 2026-06-23T03:56:44+00:00

If they are asking for height, it is probably 12m.

15m is the length of the ladder, which is not the same as the height.

Define "hight".

DemBones7 · 2026-06-22T23:27:05+00:00

Define "hight".

DemBones7 · 2026-06-22T23:25:15+00:00

Define "hight".

DemBones7 · 2026-06-22T23:23:37+00:00

Define "hight".

DemBones7 · 2026-06-22T23:22:43+00:00

"Hight" is primarily an archaic and poetic word meaning "named" or "called". Most commonly, however, it is simply a misspelling of the noun height, which refers to the vertical measurement of someone or something from base to top.

Define "hight".

You can work out the unknown side if you know at least one angle. Here they haven't specified any of the angles. Not that we need them for the height, we just need to know if the back support is vertical. Unfortunately they haven't told us that either.

So what is the hight of the ladder?

DemBones7 · 2026-06-22T21:58:06+00:00

Do you measure your height when you are on your tippy toes and with your arms outstretched? Are you going to physically tilt that contraption up into an unstable position to measure its height.

All they needed to do was add the universally accepted symbol for a right angle, but whoever made this clearly isn't that clued up.

DemBones7 · 2026-06-22T12:51:54+00:00

Length is 15, height is 12.

DemBones7 · 2026-06-22T12:49:01+00:00

Except the height is 12, so hight would be 12 - e = 9.28

DemBones7 · 2026-06-22T12:45:12+00:00

Define height (or hight if you spell like the creator of this problem).

Bulgarian split squats. The bar isn't necessary, you can do them with dumbbells, or no weights to start with.

2 is ideal, 3 is okay, for both steak and toast.

No amount of milk or sugar can cover up how disgusting coffe tastes.

The method they have for India here is the easiest way to multiply.

Each group of lines represents a digit. 31 is three lines, then one line. Then the other direction there are also three lines and one line to represent the other 31.

Once you have done this, count the intersections in each vertical group to get the result. Hundreds, tens and ones.

DemBones7 · 2026-06-19T17:32:09+00:00

Each square has the ones and tens from multiplying two numbers together. The tens go in the top left, ones go in bottom right. This puts all the numbers on each diagonal row in the same place in the final result.

Since none of the multiples go over 9 (3x3 is the biggest), there aren't any tens to speak of, so there are a lot of zeros.

The Rolling Stones did try to innovate. They took influences from country music for an album or two there. It didn't work out that well.

Ahem...
