Kids are always kids !!!!

 My nephew Aniruddha topped in his class for mathematics exam.


I thought it is right time to test his mathematical skill.


So, I asked him this question.


Me  :  How many triangular faces does a square based pyramid have ??


Sounds very easy to answer right   ???


Aniruddha  :  Question is not clear  !!!!!


Me  :  It is a very straight forward question.  There is no confusion.....


Aniruddha  :  There is a big confusion !!!!


Me  :  What it is  ???


Aniruddha  :  You didnt specify whether it is a normal view or 3 - D view !!!!


Me :  What do you mean by that ???


Aniruddha  :  Answer is different for both the scenario......


Me  :  How ??


Aniruddha  :  If you are having a normal view that is if you are just looking at the front, pyramid has just one triangular face .....


Aniruddha  :  But if you are having a 3  -  D view, then the pyramid has 4 triangular faces  !!!!


Today's   Generation alpha kids   ...........!!!!


I didnt think of this possibility.
