No one knows, you distorted the outcome by measuring it...
No, we can calculate the ratio from the height of the man and his shadow length...We'd need to know the angle of the Sun to figure out the ratio of height-to-shadow

Given how far away the sun is I don't think the angle of the sun would be appreciably different for man or building...
...but I still can find a tree
^ I think we have a winner.
If the sun is 'low' in the sky but still 'high' enough to be 'above' the person (since there are all relative terms in the sun doesn't move), then the man's shadow would be shorter, but the height of a building would be longer (as the sun would be 'lower' than the top of the building
I think. I'm not putting too much thought into it
The tree is obviously inside the atrium of the building.
No, the tree has been chopped down and is being used to reprint the paper.
I know! the answer is... 42! :P
What they also didn't tell you is that the building is in Alaska and the man in Ecuador
What about the evergreen trees that do not drop needles or leaves all year round?
Chainsaw.
Loving the answers
The tree is a lie...GLADOS is trying to trick you
