1. The Barrel
There is a barrel with no lid and some beer in it. "This barrel
is more than half full," said Chuck. "No it's not," say Joe.
"It's less than half full." Without any measuring implements and
without removing any beer from the barrel, how can they easily
determine who is correct?
Solution They must tilt the barrel until the
beer reaches the rim of the barrel. If they can see the bottom
of the barrel then it is less than half full.
