Fortune #03

In Aesop's fable, a traveler boasts of an extraordinary jump he once made in Rhodes. He says there were witnesses, but none are present to verify the claim.

A listener points to the ground and suggests treating it as Rhodes: show the jump here. An impressive story becomes a simple question about what the traveler can do now.

Reading a solution and thinking “I could do that” can be like describing an ability without trying it. A closed-book attempt shows which steps you can actually produce.

Choose one question and answer before checking the solution. A wrong answer gives you useful information, not a verdict on your ability. Practice is the safe place to find the gap.
