youve just got to be awkward, i know your type.[

your just like this man in your story. you have got to do everything the hard way. [

I bet if i gave you something explosive you would play golf with it.[

I mean why send a key operated lock when they can have a combination one.

Man padlocks the package and sends it to woman. (Man keeps key to his padlock.)
Woman receives package, ADDS a second padlock, and posts package back to man. (Woman keeps key to HER padlock.)
Man gets package back, unlocks his (the first) padlock, and sends package back to woman.
Woman receives the package, which now only has HER (the second) padlock, which she unlocks, and takes out her ring.
I cracked it! Oh yes! yes! yes! Come to momma! Woohah!

Anyone fancy a nice easy quick puzzle while we wait for a better one?
Imagine setting out the following Roman Numeral equation using matchsticks:
X = 1 + X1
Question: What's the smallest number of matchsticks you have to move to make the equation correct?

One.
Move the vertical bit from the + (making a minus sign) and put it infront of the X on the left hand side, thus:
-X = 1 - X1
or:
-10 = 1 - 11

Rosy - as Roy Walker used to say on Catchphrase (on TV): "It's good, but it's not right".
The correct answer is zero.
(If you can't see why, just try standing on your head.)

As to the one neilep asked earlier, you turn on one of the switches for a really long time. Then turn another one of them on and walk in. If it is off but hot, it is the first one. If it is on, then...well you get it. If it is neither, it is the third switch. Ta-daa!
