Agrees with Queen. That seems like the most logical solution.

Wouldn't a normal person just pull out the tub stopper? Correct. |

Here is an oldie but goodie. I cant count how many drinks I have won with this one. A worker is to perform work for you for seven straight days. In return for his work, you will pay him 1/7th of a bar of gold per day. The worker requires a daily payment of 1/7th of the bar of gold. What and where are the fewest number of cuts to the bar of gold that will allow you to pay him 1/7th each day? BOOOOOOOOOOO |

One snowy night, Kyng was in his house sitting by a fire. All of a sudden a snowball came crashing through his window, breaking it. Kyng got up and looked out the window just in time to see three neighborhood kids who were brothers run around a corner. Their names were John Jenkins, Mark Jenkins and Paul Jenkins.
The next day Kyng got a note on his door that read "? Jenkins"
Kyng went to the Jenkins house and grabbed the culprit. Who did he grab?

The one of the parents because they can’t control their bad a** kids. Also kids don’t have money to pay for a window.

Suppose you want to send in the mail a valuable object to a friend. You have a box which is big enough to hold the object. The box has a locking ring which is large enough to have several locks attached and you have several locks with keys. However, your friend does not have the key to any lock that you have. You cannot send the key in an unlocked box since it may be stolen or copied. How do you send the valuable object, locked, to your friend - so it may be opened by your friend?

I assume your friend has to open the package at its first delivery, otherwise this would be too easy.

I also assume only one trip in the mail is allowed.
Are these constraints correct?

Post by Coldfront06 on Sept 23, 2009 16:15:15 GMT -5
No, neither of those are correct. The only constraints are you can't send an unlocked box, nor can you send an unlocked key. And your friend won't have the key to any lock that you use.

How about a combination lock? Call the friend with the code.

Ok
Anyone who works in an industrial setting should solve this easily then. Simple LOTO procedure.
Lock the box. Send to the friend. the friend puts his lock on the box and sends back. You remove your lock. Send to the friend. Friend removes final lock.

There is a 9 letter English word that allows you to remove one letter, and each time you remove a letter, the result is still an English word. What is that word?
