Square = half itself? (Posted on 2006-05-04) Difficulty: 1 of 5
A man had a window a yard square, but it let in too much light. He blocked up half of it. After this he still had a square window a yard high and a yard wide. How did he do it?

He blocked the outside half, the inside half was still open.

or

There was still a square window (yard high yard wide) because blocking half the window does not remove the window.
