Riddle

110m rope. 1ft slack added/pulled up. Truck fits?

Choose an answer

A.No

B.Only a bike

C.It doesn't lift at all

D.Yes (4.1m high)

Hint: It's a 3-word phrase with 8 letters, starting with "Y".

Answer

Yes (4.1m high)

Why this is the answer

Adding 1ft of slack to 110m (360ft) creates a triangle with base 180 and hypotenuse 180.5. sqrt(180.5^2 - 180^2) = 13.4 ft, plenty for a truck.
