that /you can * solve
with a pencil and

A tramp called at
the.door of a farm
house and asked for
something to eat.: The;

was a practical woman
and did not believe in
something for noth

give, the. tramp his

her. * y '.-•■■-'
In her dobryard was a woodpile.* The sticks of wood were
each four feet long. !
"I want you to cut me 30 pieces, eaclf one foot long," she
said, "and when you have cut 20 of them I want you to bring
them in the house and put them in the woodbox. And if
you will cut them all inside of 15 minutes I'll give you your
dinner and a quarter besides." /
The tramp got busy. It took him just half a minute to get
each four foot stick from the pile/ arrange it on the sawbuck,
and start sawing. 'It took him just one minute to cut each
four foot stick into four one foot lengths.-: When he had 20
of the one foot lengths cut,it took him just three minutes to
carry them to the woodbox and return to his work, counting
from the moment he cut the last one/ until the moment he
arrived back at the woodpile. ; Then he began his work again.
Now this is the puzzle: ; Did the tramp earn his quarter
extra? And, if so, how long did it take him to saw the wood,
counting from the moment he started sawing the first stick
to the moment the thirtieth one foot length was cut?
