One was a cross dresser

While in a balloon floating stationary off the coast of france, I dropped two wine bottles over the side. If one was empty and the other full, which hit the ground first?

You did jumping out to save them.

yeah but if he was over land they would hit at the same time...

whats the answer to the match in the field?

AJ · 01-04-2006

but he wasn't over land so trying to solve it that was was irrelevant.

I'm not giving the answer to the match one yet.

If you put a small coin into a an empty wine bottle and replace the cork, how would you get the coin out of the bottle without taking out the cork or breaking the bottle?

The empty one would float and the other would not hit because it would reach a point in which it would not reach the ground.

Push the cork in the bottle and shake the coin out.

He and a number of other passengers were making a balloon trip in a desperate attempt to flee a country. The balloon had to lose weight to stop it from crashing. He drew the short match and had to jump.

I came to the same conclusion.

I have one..

Imagine the pattern of dots below drawn on a sheet of paper.

Your task is to join all nine dots using only four (or less) straight lines, without lifting your pencil from the paper and without retracing the lines.
