Fine...
Well, I didn't know that 20 people could be in an EMPTY room.
You can't possible be IN any room and have full sit eof the entire room. You can't see behind you, which is where you could also place the object.
i agree with all peoplez above
I thought only one person could see outside the window, oh well...
Did you think that up or something?
no ive heard it before. anyways, if he makes a point of saying that they can see the whole room, even if it is theoreticlly impossible why argue that that could be an answer???
I'm surprised I got that one right.
An empty room with 20 people AND an apple in it?!?!?! CRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAZY!
God Teaser tho!Well done
peronaly for you to be able to see an entire oom without moving your head or body, then you would have to still be able to see behind you. Right? Now for that you would need mirrors and still be able to see above your head so you could see the entire room. therefore if you see the entire room you canstill see above your head and the apple on your head.
OR you can place it in a person's mouth and that person could not see it
There can't be 20 people in an empty room!
I was thinking of that, brainwashed!
20 people in an empty room. How can you do that?
Nice teaser, anyways.
Nice teaser, anyways.
yeah, the fact of the "empty" room threw me off a bit. i thought it had something to do with that. good riddle though :]
It is a good teaser. I'm not sure it is a trick though.
I've heard of this before.
That was a good one, stumped me at first but then i thought out side the box (square) haha no pun intended. as for critizisim about 20 people being in an empty room is totaly fine... the people are in there but the room is still empty... (i.e furniture etc) aside for the apple of course )
