There is a perfect sphere of diameter 100 cms. resting up against a perfectly straight wall and a perfectly straight floor.
What is the diameter of the largest sphere that can pass through the gap between the wall, floor and the sphere ?

I don't think there should be a "hard and fast" time limit... I think once someone has posted a solution in the comments, then the solution should be posted. It's not like it's now giving anything away.... And sometimes it's a more formal dealing of the problem.
However, if no one can come up with a solution, I think the solution should not quickly be presented. Perhaps a hint or two would be appropriate (as I've seen done on numerous occasions already).
