The Daily Mail readership will not fathom your question. It is a rag for those who would follow MAGA but want to appear intelligent without have either the natural talent or putting in any work to increase knowledge. Baseline racism is a requirement
Everyone who’s dealt with kids knows you have to bisect the giraffe equally from nose to tail so everyone gets 2 legs, or somebody will cry that it’s unfair.
I let one cut and the other gets to pick first.

Everyone who deals with scientists knows they assume a perfectly spherical, frictionless, giraffe.
In a vacuum

Kids are total commies.
Make sure to get the same number of spots too.
The anatomical answer is sagitally down the midline.
This is why real scientists use the only reasonable real world measurement - a perfectly spherical cow in a vacuum.
Hmm. Thought they used bananas.
You divide the giraffe vertically down the center 🤦♂️
Dear gods
How far will these Americans go to not use the metric system… ffs
Sadly they’re not American. Containment has been breached.
Even if you think height divided by two, why even describe it that way? Giraffes are tall, but not so unfathomably tall that something half its size is incomprehensible. That’s 7-9ish feet. You couldn’t say the size of Andre the Giant?
Alex Horn wrote it.
Sorry, I don’t get the reference and the Wikipedia page didn’t help!
In his show Taskmaster he is well known for both writing tasks and making jokes through intentionally obtuse language and uncommon phrasing. Frequently the “obvious” interpretation of a task turns out to be non-obvious, or the answer to a riddle is this kind of nondeterministic situation that trips up the contestants and makes for better funny.
Which is to say, the author of the headline is a troll, and did it internationally to bait this very kind of conversation. You won’t know which way they sliced the giraffe unless you read the entire thing! Of course, after you do, you still won’t know.
Ah, no wonder the Wikipedia page didn’t help… the top result when I searched was for a cult leader named Alex Horn. Thanks for the explanation!
They meant Alex Horne
People usually measure asteroids by mass (but then, those people are already abnormal, so who knows?), if so, it’s something around the size of a cow.
Or maybe they could use metric…
The Youth Today don’t know who that is. Then again, do they know how large a giraffe is? We may never know.
Then again, do they know how large a giraffe is?
Just today, I learned a handy way of visualizing the size of a giraffe. If you took that asteroid that struck off the coast of Iceland, and made a copy of it and put the two of them together, that’s about the size of a giraffe.
If that doesn’t get you some Nobel prize, I don’t know what will.
Sorry, I need that in dishwashers or ping pong balls
I think you just need to translate everything to bananas then go in from there
I’m surprised they didn’t use immigrants as the unit.
Laterally.
