Salman is standing on a bridge above a road and his fans are getting too close for comfort. He spots a flatbed truck loaded with mattresses approaching at which he measures by knowing that the telephones poles the truck is passing are apart in this country. The bed of truck is below the bridge and Salman quickly calculates how many poles away the truck should be when he jumps down the bridge onto the truck making his escape. How many poles is it?
