OK, this is an old one, maybe some of you already know the answer to this so let's allow about 3 answers before giving the correct one, OK?
The story of Jack and the Beanstalk had some missing details: There were actually 10 beans and the beans were supposed to be arranged in such a way that there are 5 straight lines where, in each line there should be 4 beans. How did Jack arrange the beans?
Edit: rows is changed to lines - thanks k4m!k4ze for pointing it out!
