"While preparing the table for dinner, a wife came up with an idea to tease her mathematician husband. She asked her husband to pick nine toothpicks and make ten without breaking any toothpicks.
Her husband did it within seconds.
How?"
Spoiler:
He aligned the toothpicks to form TEN using one toothpick for each line.
Amber furrowed her brow.
Scooter wasn't to worried if she didn't get this one or the next one. Once he got down to just his boxers then he would get worried. He wasn't to sure if he wanted everyone to get to see Amber if she didn't manage to win. LongKnight had given him all the answers. He knew he could beat Stacey as he had the blueprint. Now if Amber had told him what she had done then she could have had the blueprint to.
LongKnight sat as his favoured table at the back. This was an interesting twist. He hadn't anticipated this. He'd given Scooter enough answers to take Stacey almost all of the way before he lost to her. He wanted to soften Stacey up but not have her lose yet. When he was ready she would lose and lose publicly.
Amber was trying to use her fingers as matchsticks to try and work the problem. She could feel all eyes on her. She was feeling under pressure. Perhaps she should have just hit Stacey like she was going to originally rather then get caught up in this. To be fair though she had to admit that the idea of publicly humiliating Stacey the same way that she had humiliated her man had appealed.
She just couldn't work the problem out.
She looked at Scooter trying to work out how many times she could be wrong or pass before he was showing more then she wanted him to display. She didn't want him to be naked as that would mean that she might have to strip as well and she definitely didn't want that.
Amber suddenly remembered the piece of paper tucked under her bra strap. The list that she had made earlier of things that she was going to make Stacey do. She hadn't realised though that Stacey would be this imaginative with her questions though.
Amber took a deep breath and said in a timid voice...
