Mental Floss 356

The answer to last week’s challenge is: Q: A table tennis ball fell into a long pipe sticking out of the ground. The pipe is only a little wider than the ball so you cannot get it with your hand. You have no implements to reach in with. How would you take the ball out without damage?

A: Pour water into the pipe until the ball rises to the entrance.

This week’s thinking challenge is …

Q: If you put a small coin into an empty wine bottle and replace the cork, how would you get the coin out without taking out the cork or breaking the bottle?

The answer along with a new challenge, next week.

Have a great weekend!
