Volumes I to IV of "famous Mathematicians" are sitting in numerical order between two bookends on a table. Each cover of a volume is 0.5cm thick, and the pages of each volume between the covers are 5cm thick. What is the distance between page 1 of Volume I and the last page of Volume IV? (hint: not 23)

If you line them up from left to right as volumn 4,3,2,1, then the answer would be 23 cm, which is shown as answer B from the above picture.
But the hint told you it's not 23.

Then it must be from left to right as volumn 1,2,3,4. Look at layout A, you should know the answer by looking at the diagram, get it yet ?
If you still haven't get it, read on :

When you layout the books as shown in setup A, the first page of volumn 1 is on the right hand side of the book, and last page of volumn 4 would be on the left hand side of the book.

A = 0.5 x 2 x 3 + 5 x 2
= 3 + 10
= 13cm
