We
were on a road trip when we drove past a very tall radio tower.
I told Darren, "That thing has to be at least a thousand feet
tall!" He looked out the window for a moment, and said "I'll
bet it's closer to 1500 feet." We stopped at a gas station
and asked how tall the tower was, and it was exactly 1500 feet tall!
Now that I owe Darren a steak dinner, how could he tell how tall
the tower was?
Answer:
Radio towers are always painted with alternating red and white stripes.
If the tower is over 700 feet tall, every stripe is 100 feet high.
Pitra simply counted the 15 stripes and knew immediately it was
1500 feet tall. This only works if it's over 700 feet; if it's under
700 feet, the tower will always have seven stripes. Bonus Factoid:
The top stripe on the tower is always red. Our tower has 11 stripes!
