    They are all right, as they were waiting for someone the man refereed to the train as it (incorrectly see above), the woman saw the female of the couple they were waiting for and the child saw the male

    3: His music is played is places where people loiter, outside shops etc. Just like they play that high pitched noise in the UK that only teens can hear

    4: He stole the money or at least acquired it illegally so had to get rid of the cash ASAP before he got caught

    Correct Bumble and well done. The men chopped down the tree and then measured it on the ground. :)

    Measure the tree using the pencil method
    Pencil Method

    There is also another technique known as the “pencil” method.* For this you can use your pen or pencil, or anything of similar shape and size.*In this method it is not important that the length of the stick above your hand on your outstretched arm is equal to the distance from your eye to that same point of the pencil where it is held in your hand.*Simply hold out the pencil and move toward or away from the tree until the top of the pencil is lined up with the tree’s highest point and the bottom of the pencil lines up with the spot directly below that highest point.*Then turn your hand so that the pencil is “laid down” on the ground, keeping the bottom at the same point.*Visually mark the location where the top of the pencil now is found on the ground out away from the tree (It helps to have a second person for this purpose).*Tree height should be equivalent to the distance from the pencil bottom spot to the new pencil top spot >as long as that point is at a right angle to you![/QUOTE]

    Great method Legs but not the answer I have.

    Couple of clues:

    The men did not use angles or shadows.

    They did not climb the tree.

    Is the neighbour human or non human[/QUOTE]

    The neighbour is human yes Legs.

    Another clue. The neighbour likes the dog and the dog did not annoy the neighbour.

    And another. The couple gave the neighbour a fine meal. :)

    Well if there are other trees around it make things a little more difficult.
    My first suggestion was to measure the length of the trees shadow (as the sun
    shines in Australia) then use a ruler place vertical (known height) and measure the length of shadow cast and do the ratio calculations.

    Hunch that's [B]not the answer[/B] for this question[/QUOTE]

    Your hunch is absolutely correct Legs. lol

    I was quite good at this when at school. One of only 2 people in the school who had mastered this technique.

    Was it the Fosbury Flop


    The Fosbury Flop is a style used in the athletics event of high jump. It was popularized and perfected by American athlete Dick Fosbury, whose gold medal in the 1968 Summer Olympics brought it to the world's attention.[/QUOTE]

    Absolutely correct Legs and well done. :)
