Thread: Ready, Set, Think: Mind-Benders That Aren’t So...

Started 3 months, 1 week ago by tcreb
What is the answer to this question: "In one of my favorite puzzles a professional golfer can putt the ball only in distances of 3, 5, 7 and 11 feet. If he is 20 feet from the hole, what is the smallest number of strokes he needs to sink it? (The answer is not four.)" http://www.nytimes.com/20...yton.html?ref=televisi on

If the second shot goes in the hole on the roll.

Since the ball is 1.680 inches and the hole is 4.25 inches, if the golfer errantly measured from the front of the ball to the front of the hole, he would come up about 2 inches short of the hole.

2.659 inches
