Does this imply the question you had in mind was of the same difficulty level/time consuming level as the previous one? Otherwise go ahead.Quote:

You have an empty bottle and a straw. How can you lift the botthe by touching it only with the straw and only touching the *inside* of the bottle?
I'll stick my finger in the bottle and lift it. Then with my other hand I'll throw away the straw.Quote:

oops didn read carefully I'm wrong ofcourse
A few more info, just to be sure: the bottle is a *normal* bottle made of glass, of about 1 L -- no trick here.
The straw is like any straw you can get at MacDonalds. No glue, no heat, no other stupid tricks. And you're not in space, i.e. there IS gravity.
[EDIT]
For the solution, you can either make a drawing, or, if you have a digital camera, shoot a picture and post it. If no one finds an answer, I will post a photo :)
[/EDIT]
Can be bending the straw carefully? Something like this?
Yep, that's it. You actually have to bent the straw onl yonce. I will post a picture ASAP. :)Quote:

Your turn.
Hmmm, I don't think that would work with glass coke bottles and about any glass water bottle in Belgium as they end conically.
My turn? OK. Here is an easy one.
Do you remember the SeventhStar's question about a man with 12 balls ?
Then after solving his problem a friend of him came to his house carring a big DIN A0 piece of paper. A big strange closed figure
was painted with a pencil on the paper. This man must to calculate the total surface of this strange figure. He asked for aid to the SeventhStar's man. There were no rulers, no tape measure, and no drawing tools of any kind. But SeventhStar's man could calculate the surface of the strange figure. HOW?
I would say: weigh the DIN A0 piece, cut out the stupid thing and weigh the two pieces, if you know what the surface of a DIN A0 is you can calculate the surface of the figure.
Yes!
Very easy true?
Your turn.
It was easy but I didn't know I was allowed to cut it out (destructive method). I don't know one, if somebody has a hard one (not barwoniganalhul style), please post it.Quote:

This morning I left home, I walked one kilometer north and then one kilometer west and finally walked one kilometer south and arrived back at my home. Can you tell me what location(s) my home is located and if you know I live on the northern hemisphere?

This is still bothering me. Is this now correct, are these indeed the operators? Then you have mislead us all SeventhStar by denying the operators where under the form solarflare mentioned. :rolleyes:Quote:

xxozz = xxszz = xx + zz - 22.
xxyzz = xxtzz = xx + zz - 44.
xxazz = zz - xx.
xxmzz = xxizz = xx + zz.
That's very obvious Simon!
Your house is in Gent, Belgium. Every body knows... ;)
But you must be rich if you have a house one kilometer long :p
:D :D :D
