Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Philosophically speaking yes!. Ironically speaking, the dwarf has astigmatism!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Well, it really depends on whether the giant's shoulders are still attached to the giant!. And whether the dwarf in blind or not!. And if they are both in a cave, neither will see very far!. You have to supply a bit more information!. But, personally, I am more concerned about how far YOU can see!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Not if he can't see the forest for the trees!. Or if he can't see past the nose on his face!. Or if he's looking on the bright side and is blinded by the light!. Or if it's so dark he can't see his hand in front of his face!. Or if his head is in the clouds!. Or if his head is up his butt!.Www@QuestionHome@Com That would depend on the area that they are in!. if they are both in an open area, then they both should be able to see the same distance!. If they are in and area where there may be things blocking the dwarfs site then yes he would be able to see further on a giants shoulders!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Depends on their size!. If the dwarf stands on the giants shoulder, but is still lower than the giants eyes, he won't see further!. If the dwarf's eyes are higher than the giant's, then sure!. :-)Www@QuestionHome@Com how big is this giant and how small is this dwarf!?
