If you were to put a coin into an empty bottle and then insert a cork into the neck, how could you remove the coin without taking out the cork or breaking the bottle?
I hope this isn't too easy...

got an idea...... can you push the cork on down into the bottle and then shake the coin out? (you have no idea how long it's taken me to think of this).... if that's illegal..... then you melt the bottle because it technically not "breaking" the bottle.
well, if you're gonna be like that, then you can cut off the bottom, cause technically that's not breaking it either :)
I really have no idea, but I do think your profile pic is cool :)
like cal-el, i would push the cork in, because technically, you're not taking out the cork. or, you could always do what evan said...cut the bottom of the bottle. i don't think it would count as "breaking".
Will you give us the answer, or just keep us in suspence?
I gots teh ansor!!!
You see, when you put the coin back in the bottle you have installed small, microscopic dynamite in the coin, it is set to blow up, so it blows up the bottle after the cork is put in, and waalaa, its removed from the bottle. You see, the bottle didnt break, it BLEW UP, and the coin, being made of iron, did not blow up with the bottle.
Really any of the answers so far can be considered "correct" according to what Lydge has said so far. But of course I'm sure none of them are "the correct answer that we're supposed to be looking for."
Even though you all gave great answers...Brett and Gabbie's was the one I was looking for. You push the cork into the bottle and shake the coin out.
:)
That was to easy. Harder one, harder one!
...And yet you couldnt even get it Will...
Well, joe, for your information. As it was already posted before I got on here, I decided not to bore everyone out and sound like a copy cat. (The fact is, you can believe me or not, it matters not to I) And what about this idea with a dynamite, Joe? Where was all the wiring and stuff that you need to detonate a stick of dynamite? Did it have a timer also so that you could run away and not get torn to pieces by shattered glass? Just thought I would ask since you seem bent on..... :)
oh my...
What is with trying to get the most comments?
Only the cool people get lots of comments, didnt you know?
And btw Will yes I believe you, but no I dont understand you. :P
You don't understand? Ahwell.
I guess I am not cool then for I rarely, very rarely get comments. But then again, I never tried to be a cool person. I will leave that for others.
now boys... ;)
What did I do? :) Okay, I will chill.
Haha. That would be most amusing. I'll bring the popcorn.
*Refering to the riddle-ish type thing...* I was right! Yay! So...what did I win?
I will gladly enjoy any mud wrestling. Sounds mighty familiar though.
