Good afternoon, dear guests and subscribers of the "Build for myself" channel!
Even though the channel is related to the construction topic, let me tell you about a good trick today. I've always been attracted by such puzzles, there is something to smash my head over. The trick described in the article is striking in its simplicity, but at the same time, it is not so easy to think of this simplicity ...
My wife's brother came to visit us, sat at the table - talked, and suddenly he asks me: "Do you want me to show you a cool trick?"
"Go for it," I replied.
He takes out the thousandth bill, puts it on the table, puts a match on it, rests the matchbox and says - "Take out the bill so that no matches fall. You have 5 minutes for this, then the thing is yours! "
The essence of the puzzle is as follows: pull out the bill so that the matches do not fall. You cannot touch the matches directly with your hands, all that is allowed is just to touch the bill lying on the table.
As soon as I did not try to pull out the bill. We all remember the trick with the tablecloth, when with a sharp movement you can brush it off the table without overflowing glasses or dropping plates on the floor. Accordingly, the first thoughts are, what if I pull out the bill abruptly?! But no, it doesn't work that way, the whole structure is falling apart.
Any movement of the bill pulls the match, as this is a very sensitive design and requires caution.
After 2 - 3 minutes the bratelnik says, they say, okay, you have the last try! At the last minute, I roughly understood the essence of moving the match, but not with my hands, but with the same money, but I successfully failed the task! :-)))
So the solution is as follows ...
First of all, we fix the bill with our hand at the base - where the whole structure of matches rests on it:
With the other hand, we begin to carefully roll the free edge of our thousandth "piece of paper" into a tube:
Slowly folding the bill, it displaces the match from the other edge and does not allow the entire structure to tip over.
Everything is done slowly so as not to knock the balance of the match.
Done! I think your friends will appreciate the focus ...
Thank you for attention! I hope you enjoyed the puzzle!
The chef told how to cut the pulp of a watermelon and surprise the guests!
I decided to hand over the trash that has been rotting for 7 years in the yard for scrap (dialogue with a lawyer)
“Don't say I didn't warn you,” the master replied. What turned out to be the error of using film under the paving slabs?
