When we last left our hero, he was faced with a tricky dilemma. A candy machine takes nickels, and all he has on him is a quarter, a dime, and three pennies.
The top answer given was “call room service”, but a few people did get it. Click through to see the slightly comical pictoral representation of the answer.
Hotel Room Candy – A Brainteaser, originally uploaded by Dan Dickinson.
In your hotel room, you see a candy machine that takes nickels. You have a quarter, a dime, and three pennies. How do you get the candy?
You cannot leave the room.
You cannot use anything not pictured.
You may not break the candy machine.
I’ll post the answer in a few days.
I’ve had a bit of blogblock over the past week or so, and I’ve been demotivated to get some necessary database work done on VJ Army and Pop’n Navy. I apologize to the faithful readers and users, I will attempt to rectify both sides of this problem over the coming days.
But complicating this is the fact that 24 hours ago, I was informed I need to go to New Orleans next week for an Sakai Project conference; now I sit here with a Jet Blue itinerary and a W Hotel confirmation and it hasn’t really hit me yet that I’m actually going to New Orleans for three days next week.
I will have barely any time away from the conference but I’ll attempt to at least bolster my Flickr account with some photos and quirky anecdotes. I should, of course, also have the trusty Sidekick on – as the great philospher Calvin Broadus has been heard to remark, “Everybody needs a Sidekick.” So I shall remain in touch, in tune, and hopefully on time.
More details as they become available.
