The CARPENTER was nearly done. He had dug an ENORMOUS pit, and filled it with water. He was actually quite proud of his giant SQUARE pit. In the CENTRE, he had left another SQUARE of land, which, just in case you were interested, was 30 FEET from the edges. At the very center of this square, was a small GLOWING EGG. Picking up two planks of wood, the CARPENTER scurried onto his pseudo island, quite pleased with himself. As he sits down with the egg, a magical barrier is created all around the water, preventing both magical abilities, and flight. The planks that he used to reach the island, float back onto the shore, to be used again.

On the shore, he has left you two planks of wood as well, identical to those that he used. Each piece of wood is 29 FEET LONG.

Can you reach the island, to claim the egg for yourself?

Questions asked
"How wide are the planks?"
- The answer is irrelevant to the solution. Assume they are widen enough to walk on.

"How thick are the planks?"
- The answer is irrelevant to the solution. Assume they are thick enough to support your weight.

"Do we each have our own set of planks?"
- Yes. Each participant receives two identical sets of planks. However, even if you decide to work with someone else, a correct answer may only use two planks

"It says the planks cannot be attached. Can they be stacked?"
- Yes. But keep in mind, the normal laws of gravity will apply.

"How deep is the pit?"
-The answer is irrelevant to the solution. We'll say it's 30 feet deep.

"Does our response to the RE have to be IC?"
- No. Just make sure your answer is clear.
