Title: Tale of 2 bank robbers
Post by BenVitale on Jun 7^th, 2009, 5:55pm

Two bankrobbers rob the local bank. They then hop in their car and scurry off to their hideout 20 miles away. When they get there they realize that one of their tires had been completely flat the whole time.

How did they get to their hideout?

They hop in their car, notice that the driver and a wheel is missing, scurry off to their hideout (a garage) 20 miles away on foot, and discover that the driver took the wheel home to fix it.

After they robbed the bank they took the ferry boat where their car was parked. The boat traveled 20 kilometers across the river. As soon as they drive off the boat (their hideway being a wharehouse right by the dock), they discover their flat tire.

Flatland does not have cars or tires.
