Q2: You are walking in unfamiliar woods and come to a fork in the trail. A tiger leaps out of the bushes and says: “Choose the correct path and arrive home safely. Choose the wrong one and I will eat you. I won’t tell you which path is safe, but you may ask one yes/no question before you pick.” What should you ask the tiger to ensure your safety?
Q3: The king was laying in his death bed, so he summoned his three sons. He had not yet written a will, so he gave each son 99 pennies and declared that whichever could purchase something to fill the room would inherit all his belongings.

What did the youngest prince buy to satisfy his father and win the inheritance?
