House on the Island
129.0K Views
Sally lives in a place where six months of the year is mild summer and the temperature drops significantly the other six months. She owns a lake where there is a small island. She wants to build a house on the island and needs to get materials there. She doesn’t have a boat, plane, or anything to transport them to the island. How does Sally solve this problem?
If the “temperature drops significantly” means it drops below freezing point, she has a chance: Just wait for those low-temperature months when the lake would freeze and she can get the materials across to the island over the frozen lake.
