Riddle

If you hammer a nail into a tree, where is it 5 years later?

Choose an answer

A.5 inches higher
B.At the top
C.On the ground
D.Same height
Hint: It's a 2-word phrase with 10 letters, starting with "S".

Answer

Same height

Why this is the answer

Trees grow from the top (apical meristems), so a nail in the trunk stays at the same height.
