I was given this at a tavern years ago.
I called it the "Lloyd Intersection."

What methods may be used to solve for x?
- Jens comment below solves this question.
You also could;
Convert the two line segments of 2 and 4 into circles with radii of 1 and 2. The diameters of the circles intersect at a point on the line y=1.

Lloyds intersection/stack
The question now reads:
2 circles of known radius 1
and 2 intersect at two points a and b on the x axis, the distance between the points is x. (The cord) What is that value for x? To get a definitive answer to this you would need to know more, like the distance between the centers of the 2 circles.
Paul Bourkes intersection of two circles illustrates a solution with the known circle centers. What if you only know a point on the line y=1, where the diameters of the circles intersect?

This is the classic Crossed Ladders problem. Solutions in the link.
