GAME: MindTrap

I'd guess it refers to this:


>Picture an empty wine bottle with a cork secured at the top in the >usual way.

>Inside the bottle a metal ring hangs suspended by a string attached to >the cork.

>How is it possible to make the metal ring drop to the bottom of the >bottle without touching the ring, the thread, the cork or the bottle?

Alright, use a magnifying glass to focus the sun's rays on the thread, burning it in half and the ring will drop to the bottom.

Couple bonus points for looking that up? :)

Yes, thanks machodkis.

Im pretty sure the glass of the bottle would blur the beam to make it impossible for it to melt/burn the string inside. Has anyone tried? :D

Ew. Seriously. Go scrub your hands with turpentine or something.

I agree that Charmin is the devil though. Might I recommend some holy water...get a priest to bless your toilet or something?

I'll do my special kind of blessing later, after the holy chili.

The owner of the liquor store owed the butcher 100 pounds, so he gave the bill to the butcher, who then went to a farmer, and purchased a lamb with the 100 pounds.

The farmer remembered he owed the finance company 100 pounds, so he took the same bill to them to pay his debt.

Upon careful examination, Mr. Tory discovered that the bill was counterfeit. By this time, the 100 pounds bill had paid 400 pounds in debt.

Which transactions turn sour and who loses what?

the Farmer

Not quite.
