Guarantee no one will solve it! Consider two breeding strategies of the fictional Furble. Dominator Furbles can fight for a breeding territory, and if they win, will be able to rear 10 offspring. An alternative is to share territory with another Furble which will allow each to rear 5 offspring. Sharers who attempt to share with dominators will be forced out of the territory, although they will be able to find a new territory. Assume sharers become extra cautious after encountering a dominator and so will always find another territory to share the next time around, but due to lost time will only be able to produce 3 offspring. Dominators are always able to force …

Kind of a philisophical question... If I was told to cool down a boiling glass of water as fast as I could, would it make sense to tip the water out and replace it with fresh cold water? One could argue that the origional water was still hot and now on the floor. There is physically nothing except for the difference of energy to separate the two samples. Is it possible to say that the new water is not the old water?

It's not actually a specific puzzle here, but a type of puzzle game I recently heard of that I suspect some here would enjoy (I know I have). Sudoku is a Japanese number-game that is evidently very popular over there and catching on in the UK. It's basically just a 9x9 matrix, subdivided into 9 3x3 matrices. There are "givens" scattered all over it. Using these givens and pure logic (no guessing is needed), you can find every value by utilizing 3 rules: 1) each 3x3 matrix contains only 1 instance of each digit from 1 to 9 2) each row contains only 1 instance of each digit from 1 to 9 3) each column contains only 1 instance of each digit from 1 to 9 Thus, …
