Mary was out riding a frisky pony in a meadow by the sea when the bridle came loose. The animal shook it off and started to gallop full speed toward the ocean, paying no attention to Mary’s yelling to slow down. She couldn’t bear to jump off and lose her beloved pony, so she stayed on and hoped for the best. When the cliff loomed ahead of her, she knew she had to stop the pony. How did she do it?
Mary clapped her hands tightly over the animal’s eyes, causing it to stop.

On a remote (imaginary) island, there are 11 snakes and a single mouse. As you’d expect, snakes eat the mice. But contrary to what you’d expect, when a snake eats a mouse, it turns into one.
The snakes live by only two rules:
1. Don’t get eaten.
How many snakes and mice will there be left on the island?
10 snakes, 1 mouse.
If there were only a single snake and mouse, the snake could eat the mouse, then turn into one, leaving a single mouse.
If there were two snakes and a single mouse, rule 2 would keep either of the snakes from eating the mouse to avoid being eaten themselves.
With three snakes and one mouse, one of the snakes could eat a mouse and be safe as a mouse thanks to rule 2.
This pattern continues. With an even number of snakes, nothing happens. With an odd number of snakes, one snake can eat the mouse.
Thus, with 11 snakes, one snake would eat the mouse, turn into one and leave 10 snakes and 1 mouse.
10 snakes, 1 mouse.
