Today, let's do something completely different. Jim Fixx was the author of "The Complete Book of Running" which helped start the running/jogging craze. Unfortunately he did of a heart attack at age 52. Jim Fixx was not only an exercise advocate, he was also a very smart individual. He was a member of Mensa which is the club for high IQ individuals. Along those lines, he also wrote a book titled "Games For The Super-intelligent" which was published by Doubleday in 1972. The book is full of all kinds of games and puzzles that will have you scratching your head for hours. Today, I want to pose one of those problems for you. I will give you the answer in the next post so no looking and good luck.
Case Of The Clever Cook
A camp cook wants to measure four ounces of vinegar out of a jug, but he only has a five-ounce and a three-ounce container. How can he do it?
Seems simple doesn't it. Have at it.
