Klingon solution to the two rod problem:
hammer both rods strongely and repeteadly on the floor, and to be safe also on the head of the asking person.
Answer. non of the rods is magnetic.
Cardassian solution:
Depending on the size of the rods invent a torturing approach to get the asking one to confess you which rod is magnetically. Additonal informations are a bonus.
Vulcan solution:
Think 10 minutes about the ethic implications of a mindmeld with an unwilling subject. Think another 20 minutes about the countless times mr. Spock ignored those ethic implications.
Think logical...
Kirks solution:
If the asking one is female, well you know the drill.
If the asking one is male, well, sometimes a starship captain has to go where no man has been before...

You have a seven link golden chain. You want to stay at an inn in which you have worked out the price of one golden link per day. What are the fewest amount of cuts in the chain that you can make in order that you can pay the inn keeper upfront each day, but still have the liberty of leaving at any time you wish without losing money?
Hint: It is acceptable to give the innkeeper three links and take back the two you gave him the previous day.

Good job, but remember it's a golden chain, so if you make just one cut in the third link you can take the chain apart like this: ** * ****

This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it. Actually nothing is wrong with it, but it is unusual. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. If you work at it a bit, you might find out though!
