Simple riddle #4
James ordered a fishing rod, priced at $3.56. Unfortunately, James is an Eskimo who lives in a very remote part of Greenland and the import rules there forbid any package longer than 4 feet to be imported.
The fishing rod was 4 feet and 1 inch, just a little too long, so how can the fishing rod be mailed to James without breaking the rules?

So, did he put the fishing rod in the 4 foot box and put it in diagonally??
He unscrewed the one inch handle and placed it next to the rod in the 4feet box?
no, he just turned the box like a diamond, and put the rod in diagonally, its longer than from side to side
He squished the box so it changed shape from a square to a diamond shape so it has more space diagonally then a square would have? (determined to solve riddle)
Nope, ur getting colder. think of the box as everry side is 4 feet, as a cube, and think of a diamond
not quite, lol, but, hermano buen intento! you were actually pretty dang close!
He could put it in a box that's 4 feet long, and just squish it in, since it's only 1 inch over 4 feet....
