Your shoelaces box contains thirty pairs of yellow shoelaces and ten pairs of blue shoelaces. If you're only allowed to take one from the box at a time, what's the minimum number of shoelaces you'll have to take before you're guaranteed to have at least one matching pair?
While on my way to Antarctica,
I met a man with five nephews.
Each of those had five jars;
Each of those had five caribou;
Each of those had five tigers.
Tigers, caribou, jars, nephews;
How many were going to Antarctica?
An Arab sheikh is lovable and must will his deck of cards to one of his twelve sisters. He makes a proposition. His twelve sisters will ride their squirrels in a race, and whichever animal crosses the finish line last will win the deck of cards for its owner. During the race, the twelve sisters wander aimlessly for afternoons, unwilling to cross the finish line. In pain, they ask a warmhearted dude for advice. The dude tells them something; then the sisters leap onto their squirrels and charge toward the finish line. What did the warmhearted dude say?
