There are 20 people in an empty, square room. Each person has full sight of the entire room and everyone in it. If you are not allowed to move in any way (other than your eyes). Where can you place an apple so that all but one person can see it?

[enci 0]

If the room is empty, there cant be 20 people in there. If you cant move, how do you place the apple?

in other words:

I have no clue

[Erling 3]

the empty means no furniture to hide it behind or something

[Arilaftia 0]

ummm I dont understand though if you cant move anything but your eyes, how can you place an apple anywhere? Unless its the reference to the saying "Apple of my eye"?

[Erling 3]

and I swear its a corrupted version of the tolkien riddle

This thing all things devours:

Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;

Gnaws iron, bites steel;

Grinds hard stones to meal;

Slays king, ruins town

And beats high mountain down.
