- 3Puzzle #024: A Strip of Paper
Summary: A piece of paper has been folded twice. On each fold, one end was an inch away from the other end. How far apart are the folds, in terms of a tenth of an inch?
Solution: This is kind of tricky. If you fold a piece of paper, and one end is an inch away from the other, that must mean the fold is half an inch away from the center of the paper. Since this happened twice, both folds are half an inch away from the center of the paper, making them a full inch away from each other. The solution is 10. 10 tenths of an inch is one inch, which is how far apart the two folds are.

Summary: You have two pitchers. A third pitcher, containing poison, is placed left or right of them. The third pitcher moves left and right fifty-five times. You want the poison to be in place #2, so which starting position do you put the poison in, left or right?
Solution: The answer is B, on the right. If the poison starts on the right, it will always end up on the right after an odd number of switches.
