1. Two friends decide to get together; so they start riding bikes towards each other. They plan to meet halfway. Each is riding at 6 MPH. They live 36 miles apart. One of them has a pet carrier pigeon and it starts flying the instant the friends start traveling. The pigeon flies back and forth at 18 MPH between the 2 friends until the friends meet.

How many miles does the pigeon travel?

2. There are twenty coins sitting on the table, ten are currently heads and tens are currently tails. You are sitting at the table with a blindfold and gloves on. You are able to feel where the coins are, but are unable to see or feel if they heads or tails. You must create two sets of coins. Each set must have the same number of heads and tails as the other group. You can only move or flip the coins, you are unable to determine their current state. How do you create two even groups of coins with the same number of heads and tails in each group?

    Q1. It takes the friends 3 hours to meet at the 18 mile centre point, so if the pigeon flies for 3 hours he would cover 54 miles

    Correct Jimmydee. You are becoming a bit of an expert at these. Well done. :)

    2) Bit of a long shot this one...you ask different people to flip a coin.you announce 'heads wins' if they argue you know it's tails.....just a shot in the dark

    Sounds quite logical Mellors but unfortunately not the answer I have. :)

    Question 2 easy when you physically do it.
    Move 10 coins to one side and leave as they are, the other 10 turn over and this should leave the same number of heads as tails. Maybe I was just lucky

    Ps I wasn't blind folded
    Was getting funny looks from the office staff playing with my coins. At least my hands were above the desk.
    Ok that's me for the evening going to do bad things tonight as it's our Christmas dinner postponed due to bad weather.
    Good night
    Yippee
