gimme a brain teaser, I will solve it just don't make it to difficult cuz it ain't gonna be solved then. 😛
To clearly see an object far away without their glasses, why can't they just hold a mirror up close to their face with the object's image in the mirror?
The image in the mirror would only be a few centimeters from their eyes so would they be able to see the image clearly without their glasses or would it still be blurry??
