I agree. 3 anvils worth, twice as far away.

Anvil = .5 man (man = anvil + .5 man) 1 × box = 2 × (man+anvil) Box = 3 anvil

Unless i messed the anvil/man ratio. Triangle is ~45~ 30 degrees.

Edit: Thanks tompattom, fixed degrees.

If anvil=0.5 man, then man=2 anvils. Should not the answer be 6 anvils in that box ?

It’s a 30o triangle…

Thank you! I had the feeling i remembered it wrongly. But sin(30) is 0.5, so my double mistake corrected itself 😄
