Nail Puzzle

balance-spike-nails.pngHow to balance 12 8-inch spike nails

on a nail that’s in a cork that’s in a wine bottle. [See: Bet.]

As soon as Don Voshall showed me,

John Watson, Phil Brown, and Kevin

Spainhour, I went out and bought

the nails. They were 19ยข each.

Bennett and Alice donated the wine

bottle and cork.

Ted Regan donated the small nail.

I sure wish I had spent more time to

figure it out. Now I won’t know what

it’s like to solve one of the greatest puzzles

on earth.
