Two tv station owners * erect tv antenna towers within guy-wire range of each other. In fact, a wire goes from the top of each antenna to the base of the other. The ground between the two is fiat. One tower is 700 ft. high, the other 500 ft. What is the height above ground where the two guy wires cross one another? (These are ultra-special, giant economy size guy wires with no middle age spread or sag.) Solve this neck-craning problem and receive, absolutely without strings, a copy of Dudeney's "Amusements in Mathematics" — Dover Publications, Inc., N. Y. If you have already earned this invaluable trophy, say so in your entry and we'll provide another brainstimulating prize. * Obviously, they weren't buddy-buddy or they would have mounted both antennas on a single tower to obtain equal signal coverage. No such problems exist in Washington, D. C, where all four stations have equal height antennas — but WMAL-TV leads in market coverage due to its total area promotion of ABC programs. wmal-tv Washington, D. C.
