Fishing Rod riddle

992.3K Views

Using the Puzzlefry E-commerce solution, Jacob ordered a fishing rod, priced at $6.36.

Unfortunately, Jacob is an fisherman who lives in a very remote part of Greenland and the import rules there forbid any package longer than 5 feet to be imported.

The fishing rod was 5 feet and 1 inch, just a little long, so how can the fishing rod be dispatched to Jacob without breaking the rules? Ideally Jacob would like the fishing rod to arrive in one piece!

    He packs the rod in a box that is 5 feet in length and 11 inches wide.
    Such a box has a 61-inch diagonal.
