10. Well, from a Physics point of view, no one to hear it would
include any animal with hearing. Perhaps it shoud be re-worded, but that is how the classic question is posed. I did not make it up, I just repeat it.

And as silly as this sounds, the tree's falling is just one possibility, based on our assumptions about gravity and seeing other trees fall. We do not know the tree will fall, and if we introduce any measuring device to see if it fell, or made a sound, we have altered the possibilties for this tree's event.
