From Billy-B's legendary 1001 Puzzle Collection — preserved on Puzz.com since 1998.
Puzzle #29
A woman bets her friends that she can grab the bare wire on a high voltage electric cable & not be injured. How could she possibly do this? Hint: Electricity of extremely high voltage is flowing through the cable, & cannot be turned off. The cable cannot be cut or removed from the source of electricity.
Reveal Answer
If the woman is not touching anything but the 1 cable, a circuit will not be completed, & she will not be electrocuted — If she jumped or in some other way grabbed the cable while not touching the ground or anything else but the cable, she would be safe.
