You need a mind as slippery as an Eel, and a talent for seeing
things from a different angle to understand H2IQ. A popular h2g2 quiz for several years, H2IQ
returns to once again tease and frustrate with questions and problems for you to solve. In each QED


I will repeat a question once used in the 'infamous' H2IQ quiz and all you have to do is answer it in
the 'H2IQ Revisited' conversation below. All those who give vaguely the correct answer will have
their name printed in the next published QED. Now for the question...

If you put a coin in an empty bottle and insert a cork into the neck of the bottle, how could you
remove the coin without taking the cork out or breaking the bottle?

Q. Close your eyes and move 5 steps to the right.

Then 3 steps to the left.

Forward five steps.

Turn 45 degrees.

Fall over.

Stand up.

Finally flap your arms like a chicken.


What do you see?





A. Nothing, your eyes are closed!!
