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...

In a box you have 13 orange marbles and 15 black marbles. You also have 28 black marbles outside
the box. You remove two marbles, randomly, from the box. If they are of different colours, you put
the orange one back in the box. If they are the same colour you put a black marble in the box.
Continue this until only one marble remains in the box.


What colour is the last marble?

Q. 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?




A. You push the cork into the bottle.
