<p>k as a present wrapper, you have from 1/2cm to a 1cm in the criss crossing of the ribbon, or the potential for that as well as the knot at the top, or is that part of the “bow”</p>
<p>anyone that wraps presents knows this is not such a straight forward question, thus 77 is not the “only” answer and in fact, the 77 is an answer that requires no imagination or reality whatsoever</p>
<p>the 77 is just the simple answer imo…knowing my ds, they would wonder, as would I have, what about the bottom…was it criss crossed, thus increasing the lentht needed or was it cut up or was the bottom half empty, with ribbon just taped at the edges, and what about the unseen sides, are we to assume there is ribbon there, or is the ribbon just taped at the edge?</p>
<p>so imagine if you have a box, and turn it over…you could logically have ribbon just taped at the end, so 77 is not the only vaild answer</p>
<p>it could be 51, because how do we know ribbon is on all the sides?</p>
<p>explain to me why 51 would be wrong in this case</p>
<p>we are to assume the ribbon was all around the box, but the question doesn’t say that</p>
<p>“around” seems to be pretty arbitrary</p>
