10 trees (Posted on 2002-04-21)

You are working for a farmer, who gives you ten trees to plant. He tells you:

"I want you to plant these ten trees in five rows. There must be exactly four trees in each row. "

How do you plant the trees?

The trick is that nobody said anything about the rows of trees having to be parallel.
By planting them in the star shape shown, you can easily achieve what was asked of you.
