To be precise, Big Ben is actually the 14 ton bell inside the Clock Tower of the Palace of Westminster. However, most people refer to the clock itself as Big Ben. It was never intended to be a monument but has become one of the most famous buildings in the world.

Let Anne's height be A, Ben's height be B and the height of the stool S. A + S = B + 36 B + S = A + 22......now add the first equation to the second equation. A + B + 2S = A + B + 58 2S = 58 : S = 29cm ....which is the height of the stool.
