Prepare paper for Test #3.
Mental Floss:

1. In a certain city, 5% of all persons in town have unlisted phone numbers. If you select 100 names at random from the city's phone directory, how many of the people selected will have unlisted phone numbers?
2. You have a dime in an empty wine bottle. The bottle is corked. Your job is to get the dime out without taking the cork out. You must do this without damaging the bottle in any way. Draw a diagram of how you would do it.
3. A heavyset man who works in the butcher's shop is 6'2" tall. He has a 45" waist, and 46" chest. What does he weigh?
4. 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. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching!
