Reach the Island logic puzzle
Alexandra wants to reach an island which is in the middle of the river. The island is 30 feet from the edge of the river. As shown in the picture below he got two wooden planks about 29 feet each.
How can Alexandra reach the island?
If it is a ‘river’ as mentioned in the puzzle, there is no solution unless Alexandra can use the planks to form a ‘float’ and find some pole to row it across the river. But If, as indicated in the image, it is something like a pond (i.e., all sides land) AND assuming that the planks can support sufficient weight and that the person has sufficient means to carry the planks, a ‘T’ or a ‘cross’ can be formed as in the figure below.
as the question mentions, A river ,and any meanders are not mentioned, so your solution will not work.
I put forward a geometrical solution.
Now he can join the planks at these angles . And place them accordingly to make the trinagle.
Then he can walk through the planks and reach the island.
Bit tricky to understand, can you please explain further
I think the question refers to a pool and they looking for the answer number 1
Alexandra is a man??? read the word HE on the question.
