Problem No. 2. Book

Ann usually has the following problem at 7.30 in the mornings: She wakes up and wants to continue reading the book that she had read the night before, but the lamp she uses for reading has depleted batteries and she does have neither spare batteries nor another lamp nearby. But, she always manages to solve the problem very quickly, without leaving either the room or the bed, and continues to read the book. How does she do it?

Parent tip

Suitable for family time, especially with younger children to exercise their listening skills.

Solution

It is morning and the room is filled with daylight, so Ann does not need a lamp to read her book.
