Brain Twizzlers By Prot. ,. D. Flint

In the course of a geology field- trip group of students came to the corner of field which was to be crossed and which had path run ming diagonally across the field to the opposite corner. This path zig ragged ill regular right-angle steps clear across. The field was square. 100 yards on side, and had an- other path running from the corner around the two sides to the opposite corner.
 The professor on the f1eld-trip was trick mathematician and said to the students, with a twinkle in his eye that it was just as far across the diagonal as round the two sides if the diagonal were straight because if each zig gag were twenty-five yards as diagram sohws, there are eight of them making 200 yards or the same dis ltance as around the two sides. If, as in diagram B, the bigzag was in units of 20 or in units of 10 like c or even in very small units like D there would still be enough to make 200 yards and eventually the line would Straighten out so the distance is as far as going around.
 Obviously this reasoning is con- trary to our beliefs. What is the so- iution? Is the professor right or wrong? Why?

HAVE you a few of those friends
who can't refrain from telling all
they know about picture show as
soon as you announce that you are
planning to see it? Shake.
The best detective pictures can be
beautifully ruined for you that way.
It's no fun if you don't have to worry
a little bit yourself about who the cul-
prlt is. But these friends don't like
you to waste your gray matter The
first thing they tell you about the
picture is that it was the butler after
all. but that you won't figure it out
until the very end.
And we don't know how many
comic pictures have turned completely
fiat for us, Just because our pals have
repeated all the funny gags. The
funny gags aren't usually funny
enough to make us laugh when re-
peated, and before we hear them in
their context we have heard them so
often that We can't laugh then either
It's very discouraging.
Maybe We should Just give up going
to shows. It's too much of an effort
to try to get to them before our friends
do. We never seem to be able to make
1t. And after all we can't go around
with our ears stuffed with cotton all
the time. JEAN.
