A pound's worth...

What can you do with a single pound on a Sunday,
To really pee somebody off on a Monday?

Worse thing is, I had to walk this through in my head to see if you really could do it with a single pound! Bit like one of those slidey puzzle things!

Yup! You can!

Could you do it with a single pound? if you put a pound in the first trolley and take it to the car park, the only way to get the pound back out is to plug the next trolley into it, but you can't get the next trolley because the pound is still in the original trolley.

Imagine if the place had 100 trolleys, in banks of 10

Go to the front of the first lot of ten, put in your quid, and pull the whole lot out and plug into the second lot. Get your pound out, then go to the front of this collection of (now) 20 and pull them out, stick them into the next 10 etc

When you have all 100 in one line, pull the whole lot out, run them into a circle, plug the front one into the last one and voila!

(told you I'd thought about it!)

You really have thought about it too, I don't know if I should be impressed or concerned.
