Questions:
1) You're driving on the road and you get a flat tire!
You take all the
nuts off of the flat tire in order to change it, but
in your haste to get
out the spare tire, you lose all the nuts! How can you
still change the
tire and make it to your destination on time?
2) If your class starts at 11 and you need an hour to
get ready, but you
want to sleep as long as possible and your first alarm
is set for 9, how
many times can you hit the snooze button if it is a 9
minute snooze?
