A man walked all day long but only moved 2 feet. How is this possible?
Common Wrong Answers
“He was walking in circles.”
Walking in circles would still imply he moved more than 2 feet, as he would cover a distance greater than that.
“He was on a treadmill.”
While a treadmill allows for walking without actual progress, it typically involves moving more than 2 feet in total distance, contradicting the riddle.
“He was walking on a tightrope.”
Walking on a tightrope would suggest he is moving across a distance, likely more than just 2 feet, especially if he is making any progress.
