A man stands outside a square fountain measuring 50 feet across. At the exact center of the fountain is a platform measuring 10 feet across. Upon the fountain is an antidote to a deadly poison that the man has been given. He is given two 14 foot boards. He is unable to tie, nail, glue, or otherwise attatch the two boards together in any way, and the fountain is 15 feet deep.
How does he get his antidote?

It'd be easier with a picture, but basically, he puts one of the boards across a corner and then the other from the center of that board to the platform.
