Features: One night, the great thief A quietly drove away the container truck parked in front of the warehouse. The large container inside was loaded with a large number of valuable items. However, during the escape, the container truck couldn't move forward under the overpass. It turned out that the top of the container was one centimeter higher than the overpass, and it was blocked by the bridge piers. The container was square, so even if it could be overturned, its height would still be the same. "Ah! Since I can't back up and turn around, I guess I'll have to abandon the truck and escape!" The thief was somewhat discouraged, but suddenly thought of a brilliant idea. A few minutes later, the container truck had safely passed under the overpass and vanished without a trace. How did he manage to cross under the bridge? The answer: Let some air out of the tires. This would lower the height by more than one centimeter, making it easy to pass under the bridge piers.
