You watch the sock-hoppers amble off toward a pier and notice a small island about a mile away from shore. Due to your excellent forest vision, you see a Forest person plowing a field with a large tractor. There are no bridges or tunnels to the island and you wonder how the tractor got out to the island.
"That's a good question," says a nearby forest person, reading your mind. "I have the only boat around here and it's not big enough to carry that tractor over. I didn't drop off any parts either so he couldn't have built it there. No one has an airplane or helicopter to drop it off either."
So how did the tractor get on the island?
(Notes:
1. the tractor was not built on the island
2. even with tides, the water is too deep to drive across
3. it was not driven across the bottom of the ocean or under water
4. it was not disassembled)
The tractor drove to the island in winter over the frozen water.
Whim
how about they waited 'til the tide went out and drove it over that way? because if it was on the shore it would quite possibly be salt water which needs to be extremely far below zero to freeze
ok i didn't read the part about the tides, i guess you're right again whim
