[QUOTE="BigWave, post: 580191, member: 6786"] Here goes an interesting one......... You have 5 boxes in a row labelled 1 to 5 as shown. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/6786/1603589887_5_boxes.jpg[/img] There is a very quiet mouse (not Schrdinger's Mouse) in one of them. During the night, the mouse randomly moves to a box next to it. ie: If it was in box 3 one day, then it would move to either box 2 or box 4 that night. Each day you are allowed to open 1 box looking for the mouse. If it's not there, you shut the box, and the next day you try again. You MUST find the mouse within 6 openings. How do you do this?
