Maybe the swallows left a banana in the tree when they were figuring out how to get a coconut to Mercia.

* Jack has 8 bricks. 7 of them weigh the same amount and one is slightly heavier. Using a balance scale, how can Jack find the heavier brick in two weighs? Take any 6 of the bricks and place 3 on each side of the balance. If one stack is heavier than the other, choose 2 of the 3 and place 1 on each side of the scale. If again, they balance, the third brick is the odd one out. If they don't balance, well, you already know which is heavier. If the two original stacks of 3 did balance, then the odd-brick-out is one of the 2 not yet weighed. So, it's a simple matter of testing them against each other.
Whatever the result of the first weighing (2 piles of 3 bricks), it only takes 2 weighings to identify the heavier brick.

An old classic.
As the Three Magi travelled to the west, they stopped one evening at a roadside inn. They had a long journey, and did not wish to spend overly much, so they agreed to share a room. The innkeeper's son was manning the desk, and told them the room would cost 30 gp. They nodded sagely, as they do, each gave him ten gold, and off they went to their rooms.
Some time later the innkeeper came in, and his son told him that three Magi had paused to stay there. Aghast that his son had charged them the full amount, he chastised the lad, and told him to take five gold off the price. Handed five gold, he left to go to their room.
On his way up there, sore from being scolded, he decided to skim from the refund. He didn't know how to divide five by three anyway. When he arrived at the room, he told the Magi that his father esteemed their patronage, and had refunded a portion of their cost...he then gave one gold piece to each of them, and scampered off to spend his ill-gotten earnings at the neighboring tavern.
But with things concerning Magi, not all is as it seems, and objects have a tendency to appear, or vanish.
If each of the Magi paid ten gold for the room, and got a single gold refunded, then each paid nine gold for the room. 9x3=27 The inkeeper's son has two gold in his pocket. 27+2=29 Where is the other gold piece?

There is no "other" gp. They paid 27; 25 went to the room, and 2 to the son. The other 3 gp are back in their pockets.

What is this strange rope I see? No sword or shears of men or gods can cut it. It twists and bends but cannot be tied in a knot. It can trip you or choke you, but it cannot bind you nor tether you. It cannot be lifted, but it can lift the heaviest of loads without breaking.
