    You're in a room. The walls are solid rock.

    Jutting out from the rock is some PVC pipline, 2.5 inches in diameter.

    Its L shaped so:


    |= wall
    anything else = pipe
    (back to front L shape)
    |
    | |
    | |
    | |
    |-----

    Inside that pipe, a 2 inch diameter ping pong ball is dropped. It stays down there, it doesnt roll along the pipe.

    (The pipe does lead anywhere, its covered by cement at the end, so nothing can come out of it etc)

    You have a shaving mirror, a few paper clips, some string a magnet and a comb.
    Get the ping pong ball out.

    (there is only one solution)

    Youve got enough string to reach the bottom.

    Keep in mind, this is from a game where all you get is the question.

    Once this one is solved Im starting my own thread of reaallly hard ones (and easy ones as well)

    You could use the paperclips to wrap the string around the other side of the ball, and pull it out (suppose it depends on how far back it is)

    sorry...I was reading back and I just noticed that Sasaki got it right...

    Since one equals two, that means they can be two different things, as for how they are the same.

    God doesnt exist/neither does your clock

    God is everything/therefore he is your clock

    Your god is a god of clocks.

    i choose the last one

    Listen. In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings forty-three times every second, right?
    Therefore, the answer is that it was an African Swallow.

    But then of course African swallows are non-migratory. So, they couldn't bring a coconut back anyway.
    Supposing two swallows carried it together?
