PART TWO

I sat in a bar in Mexico and watched workers install a half dozen columns like that. Once installed they stripped the bark. The tree wood was light brown and the vine wood was down brown and it was beautiful.

PUZZLE TIME
Alice = 25
Bob = 2 or 25
Puzzle time: A lot of people would say that Bob's number is "2", but since the puzzle doesn't state that each has a unique number Bob is stumped.
The reason Alice didn't know her number is because Bob's number met both conditions (it could be a used to get 50 as a product or a sum). This means that Alice saw one of these numbers (2, 5, 10, or 25). All having two solutions each.
When Bob told Alice that he didn't know either, it is because he knew from Alice's response that he had one of the four factors on his head. 25 is the only number that could have been on Alice's head that would result in Bob not knowing the answer, as he still had two viable solutions (2*25, and 25+25).
Exactly, that's why Alice has to be 25.
