Three hunters, different in height, got stuck in a pit. They tried to get out of it and stepped one onto the other. However, the shortest, who was on top, could not reach the edge for just 5 cm. Can these three hunters ever get out of the pit without the help of anyone else or of any additional object?

Yeah, just do it the same way with the tallest on top. He would be able to reach the edge of the pit because his hands are longer.

- What is as big as you are and yet does not weigh anything?
- Two cannibals were chatting as they had their dinner. One complained that he really quite disliked his new mother-in-law. What was the advice given to him by his companion?
- Paul’s height is six feet, he’s an assistant at a butcher’s shop, and wears size 9 shoes. What does he weigh?
