《RIDDLE》 A man is stranded on an island covered in forest. One day, when the wind is blowing from the west, lightning strikes th

e west end of the island and sets fire to the forest. The fire is very violent, burning everything in its path, and without intervention the fire will burn the whole island, killing the man in the process. There are cliffs around the island so he can't jump off. How can the man survive the fire? (There are no buckets or any other means to put out the fire.)

The man picks up a piece of wood and lights it from the fire on the West End of the island.
He quickly carries it to the East End of the island and starts a new fire.
The wind will cause that fire to burn out the East end and he can then shelter in the burnt area.
The man survives the fire, but dies of starvation, with all the food in the forest burnt.

Answer:

The right approach is "Nature abhors a vacuum."

Explanation:

  • A siphon operates whenever the gravity pushing down the larger column allows the weight upon that edge of something like the siphon to decrease.
  • Whenever fluid grows deeper throughout the pool, pressure upon that contained temperature rises or increases, and perhaps the liquid gets outside the trap's deep midwicket.

Above there is indeed the perfect method.
