Remove the Coin

Chris and Knightmare are enjoying a bottle of red wine from the StanLake Park Wine Estate. As the last glass is poured, Knightmare stands from the COUCH, reaches into his pocket, and pulls out a small coin. He drops the coin into the bottle and re-installs the cork.

Knightmare says, "Chris, I bet you another bottle of wine, that I can remove the coin from the bottle without removing the cork."

Chris exclaims, "Certainly, you can ... simply break the bottle."

"I can do it without breaking the bottle," Knightmare boasts.

"You've got a bet."


Could Knightmare actually remove the coin without compromising the structural integrity of the bottle? If so, how?

Window Cleaning Squeegies

You become employed with a large window cleaning company. The boss gives you $100, the address of the supply house, and instructs you to buy exactly 100 squeegies ... and you must spend all the money. He gives you the company tax number so that sales tax will not be charged.

When you arrive at the supply house, you are perplexed. There are three different squeegie types ... the supply house manager tells you the company you are representing ususally buys some of each type. The red ones cost $6.00 each ... the yellow ones cost $3.00 each ... and the blue ones are $0.10 each.

How many of each squeegie should you buy? ... remembering that the entire $100 must be spent ... and that you must buy some of each type.

1000 Lockers

A new princial arrived at the school to which he had been asigned. In a seemingly senseless act, he came up with a plan to begin to exert his authority. The school had 1000 students and 1000 lockers, which were in a single long hallway. After gathering all the students in the school auditorium, he presented his exercise in control.

He instructed the students to leave the auditorium in single file and head to the locker hallway. The first student was instructed to begin with the first locker and open every locker door. The second student was instructed to close every second locker. The third student was told that upon approaching the third locker, if it is open, close it ... and if it is closed, open it ... and then continue. The fourth was given the same instructions as the third student, except he was to begin with the fourth door. Each successive student was given the same instructions, which were obviously dependent upon his position in the line of students.

After the last student opened or closed the appropriate locker doors, how many remained open?
