A blacksmith has many apprentices working for him, and as a reoccurring game, every so week one of them succeeds at forging a key to let loose his pet monkey. The monkey goes wild, throwing stuff and breaking things until the blacksmith finally recages him and puts on a different lock. The ordeal has become costly. The blacksmith scolds the apprintices and makes them do the monkey catching, and puts them to extra work. The apprentices do find the extra work bothersome, yet they continue to pick the locks, releasing the monkey. The blacksmith is at his wit's end. He makes more and more complex locks, but everytime, one of his apprentices succeeds in solving it. The blacksmith asks for your advice. What should he do? He doesn't want to sell his pet monkey, nor does he have another place for it to stay.
View AnswerLeave the key hanging on a string in front of the cage. The apprentices will no longer pick the lock. (It would no longer take any skill to release the monkey. If someone releases the monkey, it would be without bragging rights, and everyone would just be mad at him because of the extra work now required of them, ending the game and competition to see who could solve the next lock.) ALTERNATIVE: If the apprentices need more then a day to forge a key he could approach the problem like modern cryptography and change the lock more frequently. He shouldn't be in shortage of locks beeing a blacksmith.

"My favorite treasure", said the king unbidden; Many I have, each of them hidden--; One with a chest, without a key; One with a wall, small though it be; One in a garden with what grows on vines; One in the forest with trees that are pine; Others types there are, but these clues are enough. Can you tell me the treasure, or is it too tough?

View Answer1. The word 'are' is repeated. 2. The word 'wrong' is repeated. 3. The sentence creates a paradox. There are only two wrong things, the claim that there are three is false. But that is also the third thing, which makes it true.
