Tom cılız merdivene dikkatlice tırmandı.
- Tom carefully climbed up the rickety staircase.
Bu merdivenin kaç basamağı var?
- How many steps does this staircase have?
One of the most insightful thinkers I know, the computer entrepreneur Yossi Vardi, prompted me to summarize my idea while standing on one leg. It was not too convenient to stand one one leg after a few glasses of perfumed Riesling, so I failed in my improvisation. The next day I experienced staircase wit.
