Precious Necklace
A man must mail a precious necklace to his wife, but anything sent through the mail will be stolen unless it is sent in a padlocked box. A box can bear any number of padlocks, but neither of the spouses has the key to a lock owned by the other. How can the husband mail the necklace safely to his wife?
SOLUTION
The man can put a lock on the box and send it to his wife. Then she can put her own lock and send it back. Once the man receives the box, he can remove his lock and send the box once again to his wife. When she gets it, she can finally unlock the box using her own key.
