They each stood on the same piece, but at different times, an hour each.

[Shadowfred]

She slid it under a door, one child stands on each side.

[Silver]

Oh god not another one.

A brother and a sister are arguing. Their mother, tired of their constant bickering, decides to punish them by making them stand on the same piece of paper for a full hour without being able to touch each other.

Assuming this is a standard sheet of printer paper, how did she accomplish this?

One foot per person.

Noone ever said both feet.

[Frenchfry]

Without them BEING ABLE to touch each other, Silver. As in, the possibility is not there.

[Desbear]

I agree with leo.

[Silver]

The way you worded it made it sound like they were forbidden from touching eachother.
This is very similar to a chess question.

2 people played a round of best 2 of 3 games of chess.
They each won 2 games.
There were no ties.
How is this possible?

A: They weren't playing eachother.

Same thought proccess

So revised answer is they stood there at different times.

Which is exactly what I said.

[Mr Pokemon]

Your answers are flawed.
If they stood on the paper at different times, one could easily go and touch the other, and vice versa when they switch. If they ripped it, it wouldn't be the same piece of paper anymore. It would be two pieces of paper. If you are able to simply slide a piece of paper under a door, then the children could slide their fingers under and touch each other's feet.
Answer: Make a wall of plastic wrap that forms a barrier between them, stretching all the way to the ground.
If you are going to be all technical and say they could simply bust through the plastic, then you deserve to rot in hell.

[Shadowfred]

I'm pretty sure a piece of paper going under a door doesn't mean fingers would fit through too. Also, since they have to stand on the paper, if they tried to get fingers under it, they would likely not be standing on the paper anymore.

[Mr Pokemon]

Most doors have enough space for fingers, to eliminate friction from the floor. I'm pretty sure an average family would have these kind of doors in their house.

[Level5Pidgey]

Both the kids were incorporeal.

Solved.

[Level5Pidgey]

Wait, did she lay both kids on the floor, feet touching sole to sole (so they were like o|< >|o), and then she slipped the paper in between their feet?

[Shadowfred]

Haha, nice. I'm not sure that would count as standing though.

[Frenchfry]

It... wouldn't.
Sos yeah. Fred is winRAR.


The end.

[LeoReborn]

You didn't answer it, because Fred Never gave an answer. -.-''
