[57.] How far does a man walk while planting a field of corn 285 feet square, the rows being 3 ft apart from the fence?
A MATTER OF OPINION.
A man walks round a pole on the top of which is a monkey. As the man moves, the monkey turns on the top of the pole, so as still to keep face to face with the man. Now, when the man has gone round the pole, has he or has he not gone round the monkey?
TRY IT.
Take the number 15, multiply it by itself, and you have 225; now multiply 225 by itself, then multiply that product by itself, and so on until 15 products have been multiplied by themselves in turn. The final product called for contains 38,539 figures (the first of which is 1412). Allowing three figures to an inch, the answer would be over 1070 feet long. To perform the operation would require about 50,000,000 figures. If they can be made at the rate of 100 a minute, a person working 10 hours a day for 300 days in each year would be 28 years on the job.
