(In reply to Rotate? by jduval)

John, what would you think if the text in the problem was : "rotate (or turn) the grid below 90š CCW, and fill ...." ?

When you give a drawing (in the paper) to a person and ask something, I think (<b>I</b>) that <b>if you donīt state tacitly that he canīt do something with the drawing</b>, everything he does is allowed, even folding it.

Thereīs a well-known (at least for me) problem that is the following : two persons, one of them (without the other looking at), throw three small balls into an empty room, <b>turn off the light</b>, close the room, and defy the other to pick up the three balls in less than (say) 10 seconds. It is possible ?

Yes, it is, because <b>it wasnīt said, tacitly, that the person couldnīt turn on the light !</b>.

I think that this kind of reasoning (I think, Iīm not sure) is called "lateral thinking".

And this is what I applied to my problem.
