Suppose you have 10 people with different heights in one row. Show that you can always remove 6 of them, so that the remaining 4 are arranged with respect to their heights (either increasing or decreasing).
Mark the first person with number 1. Look for the next person after him, who is taller, and also mark him with number 1. Then look for the first person after the second one, who is taller, and also mark him with number 1. If you find a fourth one, then you already got the four people you are looking for.
If not, mark the first unmarked person with number 2. Look for the next unmarked person after him, who is taller, and also mark him with number 2. Continue with the procedure, until you either find 4 people in the line, whose heights are increasing, or have people who are marked with numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Now pick a person, who is marked with number 4. Then look for the closest person on the left, who is marked with number 3, pick him up. He will be taller, because otherwise the first person would have been labeled 3 as well. Similarly, look for the closest person, marked with 2, on the left of the last one, pick him up. Repeat this once again and you will find 4 people in the line, whose heights are decreasing.

Tools were stolen from a construction site. Max Mouse found footprints and a tire track, leading him to believe there were two thieves – one walking and the other riding a bike. Even though Slylock Fox believes both tracks are related to the robbery, he suspects there was only one thief. Why?
The tire track cannot be from a bike. The tracks were left by one thief pushing a wheelbarrow, full of stolen tools.
It is White’s move next. Is this game a win for Black or a draw?
The game is a draw. The first two moves of White are Kg7 and Kf6. If Black moves the king twice in the meantime, then White can get to the pawn on the h-file and take it. If Black moves the king once, then White plays Ke5. If Black moves the king again, White can take the pawn on the h-file. Otherwise, White plays Kd6 and can promote his pawn right after Black promotes his. Finally, if after Kg7 and Kf6 Black moves the pawn twice, then White plays Ke7, and once again can promote his pawn right after Black promotes his.
What’s black when you get it, red when you use it, and white when you’re all through with it?
The answer is CHARCOAL.
What state does this sum spell?
