"Puzzles for you to solve:- Suppose there are three cottages on a plane (or sphere) and each needs to be connected to the gas, water, and electric companies. Using a third dimension or sending any of the connections through another company or cottage is disallowed. Is there a way to make all nine connections without any of the lines crossing each other?"
In New Jack, we evict the families from the two nicer cottages and force them to live with the family in the third. We make no connections to this cottage, but the families will have access to gas, water and electric when they and their children are forced to go work at those companies.
"Can you solve this one:- Starting with three cups, you place one of the cups upside down and the other two right-side up. The objective is to turn all cups right-side up in no more than six moves. You must turn over exactly two cups at each move."
Paper or plastic? It makes a difference...
