Here's one of Richard Wiseman's Friday puzzles (re-phrased) from a couple weeks ago:
A column of a particular building is exactly 200 feet high and 16 feet 8 inches in circumference. If a garland evenly wraps around the column in a spiral from top to bottom exactly five times than what is the length of the garland?
