You, your husband/wife/gf/bf, your 5yo and your very intelligent dog are in a big, dark room with a tiled floor. You want to know which tile is your dog standing on so you tell him to bark. Each of you turn around and face the direction the sound came from. You tell the dog to move out. Each of you is holding a very long, straight stick and lays it on the floor, pointing in the direction of the sound. You tell the dog to turn on the lights, the point where all 3 sticks meet is where the dog was.
