A tree is planted every 25 m along a street from one end. There are 15 trees. How long is the street in metres?
Editorial endpoint convention: the 15 trees include both ends of the measured street segment; its length is the span from the first tree to the last. The source does not explicitly specify the far endpoint.
At least how many pieces can be obtained by cutting a cake 4 times?
Editorial cutting convention: use four effective straight cuts through an unstacked cake, leaving the pieces in place. Each cut splits at least one existing piece and does not merely retrace an old cut. The source leaves these cutting conditions unstated.
