You entered in room and noticed that there is nothing but a bulb hanging from the ceiling. You noticed that the bulb is exactly touching your head and it is in the center of roof (where diagonals meet.)
So, what is roof’s height? BTW, you just came from office. So, go ahead and take some assumptions
The only assumption I will take is "I have a watch" & actually I do :) Now, given that bulb is hanging from the ceiling, I can make it swing like a "Pendulum". Then I can find out the length of the string T = 3.14 SQRT (L/32) . Finally, I will add 5'10 to L and that the roof's height :)
So, do you want more puzzles ??
Give your comments -

It is equal to 2wice your height....
for me the room is 360 cm
I guess, by the phrasing of the puzzle:
Height of the roof equals sum of your height and bulb's length and length of any wire it is attached to by, from the wall, add any holder's lenght etc..
nice one.
Thanks.
More please.
assumption: need a calculator too... or a pen or pencil or .... kalsi!
