In: 499
Question: determine the height of a building with a barometer.
Expected Answer: Measure the atmospheric pressure on the ground and on the top of building, the height of the building can be determined from the difference.
Lateral thinking: Drop the barometer from the top of the building and see how long it takes to get to the bottom. Use the time to determine the height of the building.
LATERAL THINKING: Find the building superintendent tell him “I have a really cool barometer…I’ll give it to you if you tell me the height of your building”.
