Aah, would that be because he can eat the sand which is there?

I feel suitably admonished!!

Correct all 3 of you.

A "Wise King" devised a contest to see who would receive the Princess hand in marriage.

The Princess was put in a 50 x 50 foot carpeted room. Each of her four suitors were put in one corner of the room with a small wooden planked box to stand on. The first one to touch the Princess hand would be the winner and become the new King.

The rules of the test were that the contestants could not walk over the carpet, cross the plane of the carpet, or hang from anything; nor could they use anything but their body and wits (i.e. no magic or telepathy, nor any items such as ladders, block and tackles, etc.).

One suitor figured out a way and married the Princess and became the new King.

How did he figure it out?

They were all put in the same corner then you knock another guy off, take his box and stepping stones into the middle.
