Mental Floss 97
The answer to last week’s challenge is Q: A rich old lady died and left all her money to her grandchildren and her children. At the end of the will she stated that she had one last thing to give away: her precious diamond. She gave a clue to where it might be. She said “it’s in a cylinder surrounded by a thousand squares.” One grandchild said, “I know where it is,” and found it. Where was it?
A: It was hidden in a roll of toilet paper.
This week’s thinking challenge is …
Q: After teaching his class all about roman numerals (X=10, IX=9 and so on) the teacher asked his class to draw a single continuous line and turn IX into 6. The only stipulation the teacher made was that the pen could not be lifted from the paper until the line was complete. Can you do it?
We are pleased to announce that we have now locked in our next Six Thinking Hats public training session for Melbourne on July 26.
Registration details Here.
The answer to this week’s challenge will appear next week along with a new challenge.
Enjoy the weekend!
