Coin And Bottle (Posted on 2003-07-16) Difficulty: 2 of 5
If you put a coin in an empty bottle and insert a cork into the neck of the bottle, how could you remove the coin without taking the cork out or breaking the bottle?

Question Would the solution work?? | Comment 9 of 14 |
I read Ravi's solution where you push the cork into the bottle. This surely wouldn't work. Corks are bigger at one end so that they stay in the bottleneck when pushed in. You couldn't push the whole cork into the bottle.
