Any hidden gems lurking out there? Thanks Dave THE MAN THE SKEPTICS REFUSE TO TEST FOR ONE MILLION DOLLARS.. The Worlds Foremost Authority on Houdini's Life after Death.....

Joshua Quinn Inner circle with an outer triangle 2054 Posts	Posted: Feb 2, 2006 12:36 am 0 I just watched Banachek do a great, non-math-based one. Word for word: "There are one, two, three, four columns... one, two, three, four columns,,, one, two, three, four columns... would you name one of those numbers please?" Right out of Psychological Subtleties. Every problem contains the seeds of its own solution. Unfortunately every problem also contains the seeds of an infinite number of non-solutions, so that first part really isn't super helpful.
