I have 50 feet long of cloth, I need to create 50 handkerchiefs each size of 1 foot. I take one minute to cut a 1-foot handkerchief. So how long will it take to cut 50 handkerchiefs?

    Answer: 14 minutes

    If I cut the 50 feet long of cloth into 10 pieces of 5 feet long it takes 10 minutes. Than I  stack the pieces of cloth on top of each other and cut them all at the same time, making 4 more cuts to split each piece into 5 one-foot-long handkerchiefs so another 4 minutes
