Title: Maple tree
Post by alien2 on Apr 14^th, 2014, 8:28am

Stephen lives in Canada. Sometimes he wanders around aimlessly. He comes across a lone maple tree he didn't see before. The tree is fully grown, big and undamaged. He's looking at its numerous leaves. Within 15 s he knows how many leaves the tree has. How did he know?

Was it some sort of [hide]mathematical tree that follows certain patterns like a reverse pascals triangle?[/hide]

There are only [hide]5[/hide] leaves on the tree. The rest of the numerous leaves are [hide]on the ground[/hide]. It's [hide]autumn (which explains why Stephen took 15s to count 5 leaves).[/hide]
