Pole problem



The runner will not think the pole fits between the markers as from her
reference frame the pole is twice as long as the gap.

The barn problem is much the same; the pole does not appear to her to fit
in the barn, but this is not contradictory as the pole fitting or not
fitting does not constitute an event; the events are the ends of the pole
passing the doors.
