Puzzle - how to ensure you get the quarter, not the penny
Monday November 12, 2018. 08:27 PM , from BoingBoing
From our friends at Futility Closet:
Here are a penny and a quarter. Make a statement. If your statement is true, then I’ll give you one of these coins (not saying which). But if your statement is false, then I won’t give you either coin. Raymond Smullyan says, “There is a statement you can make such that I would have no choice but to give you the quarter (assuming I keep my word).” What statement will accomplish that? Answer is here.
