I don't get this riddle!.!.!. I found it on an intelligence quiz that I passed out in school a few years ago, but I've since forgotten the explanation for this one!.!.!. Anyone got any ideas!?Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
He charges $5 per cut!.

Original piece of wood:
_________________

First cut:
___ _____________

Second cut:
____ ____ ________

Third cut:
____ ____ ____ ____

-> 3 cuts, four pieces!. $5 per cut x 3 cuts = $15Www@Enter-QA@Com

because when you cut a log into 2 pieces, you only make 1 stroke!. If you cut it into 3 pieces, you only make 2 strokes!. And when you cut it into 4 pieces, you make 3 strokes, and 3*5=$15!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

How could it possible be $15!.00 he only has to make 2 cuts!?That would be $10!.00 in my book, you just got ripped off!
