CADET CHALLENGE--JUST FOR FUN
A
wise king devised a contest to see who would receive the Princess' hand in
marriage. The Princess was put in a 50 x 50 foot carpeted room. Each of her
four suitors were put in one corner of the room with a small box to stand on.
The first one to touch the Princess' hand would be the winner and become the
new King.
The rules were the contestants could not walk over the carpet, cross the plane
of the carpet, or hang from anything; nor could they use anything but their
body and wits (i.e. no magic, telepathy, nor any items such as ladders, block
and tackles, etc.). One suitor figured out a way and married the Princess and
became the new King. What did he do?
