The school children were returning to their homes when they met the mathematical milkman, who propounds the following problem: In one of the two cans there is milk which is so rich with cream that it becomes absolutely necessary to dilute it with a little water to make it wholesome. Therefore, in the other can there is some pure spring water, now I proceed to pour spring water from can No. 1 into can No. 2 sufficient to double its contents, and then repour from No. 2 into No.1 enough of the mixture to double the contents. Then to equalize matters, I again pour from No. 1 into No. 2 to double the contents of No. 2 and find the same number of gallons of milk in each can, although there is one more gallon of water in can No. 2 than there is milk, so I want you to tell me how much more water than milk is there in can No. 1?

A popular game I used to play on forums was known as the investment game. The game rules are pretty straightforward. Ten stocks are advertised for sale on the opening day. There will be a sale price and a purchase price. The sale price is the price it costs to buy the stock and purchase price is the price to sell back to the market. Each stock has a maximum cap of stocks that can be sold so trading among the participants typically happens once stocks become few. Some participants may work out deals to trade with each other that may be more financially advantageous than buying directly from the market. The stocks values are updated daily so that each person can determine their total wealth. Stocks may be bought or sold to an individual or to the bank. Stock sales or trades to individuals must be set at a mutually agreed upon quantity (and price if applicable). Stock sales to the market will be at the seller's discretion of quantity but at the advertised market (purchase) price After ten days, the individual with the most wealth is the winner. All players start with $10,000 No one has to send all or any of their money Deficit spending is not permitted The game needs at least five players to play.

You have an old-fashioned refrigerator with a small freezer compartment capable of holding seven ice cube trays stacked vertically. But there are no shelves to separate the trays, and if you stack one tray on top of another before the ice cubes in the bottom tray are fully frozen, the top tray will nestle into it, and you won't get full cubes in the bottom tray. You have an unlimited supply of trays, each of which can make a dozen cubes. What's the fastest way to make full-sized ice cubes?

You've been sentenced to death in an obscure foreign country which has a strange law. Before the sentence is carried out, two papers -- one with "LIFE" written on it and one with "DEATH" written on it -- are folded up and placed in a hat. You are permitted to pick out one of the papers (without looking), and if you choose the one with "LIFE" written on it, you are set free. Otherwise, the death sentence is carried out. On this occasion, a mean-spirited acquaintance of yours, bent on your demise, has substituted the paper with "LIFE" written on it with another one with "DEATH" written on it. This person gleefully informs you of what he has done and that you are doomed to die. You are not permitted to speak to anyone about this misdeed, nor will you have a chance to switch the papers or the hat yourself in time. How will you avoid certain death?

During the course of the conversation, it is discovered that, prior to the party, each person except you was acquainted with a different number of the people present. Assuming the acquaintance relationship is symmetric (i.e., if you are acquainted with someone, that person is also acquainted with you), then how many people did your spouse know prior to the party? How many people did you know?
