Today's Question - "Stringing me along" - Bob was planting some vines in the yard. To support them he erected two poles. One was 6 feet 6 inches high and the other 7 feet 7 inches high. He ran a string from the top of each pole to the base of the other. How high off the ground was the spot where the strings crossed?

Reveal Answer Answer - Most folks came close with 42 and 4 teenies inches (half the height of the two poles). The correct answer is 42 inches. (The formula: multiply the heights of the poles and divide by the sum of the heights.)
