Riddle:
I led my nation through darkest days,
With words of wisdom that still amaze.
Tall in height and top hat worn,
In a humble cabin, I was born.
Who am I?

Abraham Lincoln once said,
"Give me six hours to chop down a tree, and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe."

Riddle Answer: Abraham Lincoln

Brain Teaser Answer:

  • Lincoln’s original ratio is 4 hours sharpening and 2 hours chopping, which is a 2:1 sharpening-to-chopping ratio.

  • If he had 12 hours, the ratio remains the same.

  • He would spend 8 hours sharpening and 4 hours chopping (maintaining the 2:1 ratio).
