| 1. An eccentric old king wants to give his throne to one of his
two sons. He decides that a horse race will be run and the son
who owns the slower horse will become king. The sons, each
fearing that the other will cheat by having his horse run less fast
than it is capable, ask the court fool for his advice. With only
two words the fool tells them how to make sure that the race
will be fair. What are the two words? 2. Think of a way you can put a sheet of newspaper on the floor so that when two people stand face to face on it, they won’t be able to touch one another. Cutting or tearing the paper is not allowed, and neither is tying up the people or preventing them from moving. 3. This has two parts - by adding only a single line turn the Roman numeral seven into an eight: VII. Want something more challenging? Shown here is a Roman numeral nine: IX. By adding only a single line, turn it into a 6. |
