A HAIRY SITUATION
Uncle Jack was going bald. One day, Mary, who was not
known for her politeness, remarked to him, "I don't sup-
pose that there is anyone in the world who has as few
hairs as you do!"
"Don't be silly!" said her brother, Gary. "The less hair
you have, the more likely it is that someone has the same
number. If you were completely bald, you would have the
same number of hairs on your head as millions of other
completely bald people. But I bet there isn't anyone with
the same number of hairs on their head as I have," and
he shook his thick hair from side to side.
"On the contrary," said Uncle Jack. "It is quite certain
that there are many people in the world with the same
number of hairs on their heads as you have!"
"You can't know that," said Gary, "because you haven't
counted the enormous number of hairs on my head!"
Uncle Jack just smiled.
Why was Uncle Jack so confident?

MARCH SOLUTION
GOING UP
Mary is a small girl going to school and back. When she
enters the lift in the morning she can reach the bottom
marked 'GROUND' but, on returning, she cannot reach
any button higher than '5
th
'. Only if an adult is getting
into the lift at the same time can she ask them to press
'16
th
' for her, and go all the way up.
