The following question was presented:
So, there has been much shouting at William to get this bike put together. It has been an eye opener to me what little experience he has with anything and that he just doesn't know how to do anything. He then argues for the sake of it to try and prove he's not completely useless, however, he was outsmarted earlier today. What was William outsmarted by earlier today?

Analysis:
It was indeed the cardboard box. What’s more is that it beat him twice. I’d asked him to fold the box flat and put it under the bed so we could use it if we moved as it was a very sturdy box. It’s what the bike came in. He couldn’t figure out how to fold it flat insisting that you would need to rip the staples out to make it work. Magically, I showed him that if you pulled the flaps out it would collapse and be flat. Not satisfied with that failure, he then claimed it wouldn’t go under the bed without being ripped as there wasn’t enough room to get it down to push it in. I then had to show him that the box would fold where the flaps join the main box and that folding it down while pushing it under would work. Sigh.
