Each Friday morning I post a riddle to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain. If you are stumped, share it with a friend or colleague and see if you can figure out the answer together.
Leave your answer in the comment section. I’ll approve responses later in the day to give people a chance to respond without seeing any spoilers.
This week’s brain teaser: How far can you run into the woods?
X = the distance IN
2X = the distance IN plus the distance OUT
X/2X = 1/2
It is HALFWAY into the woods… and HALFWAY out of the woods

Note that X drops out because the distance is irrelevant

As far as the path rough the woods goes and my legs and wind hold out. No path, no run.

If I remember correctly, halfway.

Halfway because then you’re running out the other side.
