If YOU have a moment, please answer this simple question:

Take a piece of paper from your computer printer, 8.5*11 in size, you agree that there are four (4) corners for the paper which is rectangle shape, now take a scissor and cut one (1) corner off the paper by straight line (only once for each result), how many corners left on the remain paper?

Very easy if you actually do it!

Only a tiny trick in it, Good Luck!

Happy Thursday!  😉 🙂  😉
