I, too, once had a friend, Joe, who worked in the coal mines. Unfortunately, he was killed in a freak accident when some movers lost their grip on a grand piano they were transporting; the piano fell down the mine shaft and crushed Joe to death. A local composer wrote an orchestral piece in memory of Joe: 

It was called “Symphony in A Flat Miner.”

Monday’s Quizzler is……….

Mavis the ‘mathemagician’ held ten cards (face down) in her hand – Ace (1) to 10 of Hearts.

She moved the top card to the bottom of the pack, counting ‘1’, and turned up the next card, placing it on the table. It was the Ace.

She counted two more cards to the bottom of the pack, showed the next card – the ‘2’ – and placed it on the table.

Counting, ‘One, two, three’ more to the bottom, she then showed the next card – ‘3’ of Hearts.

This continued for four to nine, and the final card was – ta-daah! – the ’10’ of Hearts.

Question: What was the original order of cards, from the top to bottom?  

ANSWER: 9 A 8 5 2 4 7 6 3 10

You might like to try this as a challenging ‘trick’ for younger people to work out (or your parents!!)

A further challenge is to ‘spell’ the number as you move the cards, one by one, to the bottom:

“O, N, E, ‘1’, T, W, O, ‘2’, etc.
