BEER MAT BET
‘I will bet you a fiver,’ said Gary to Marian, ‘that if we take turns to place beer mats on this table top, and I start, then you will be the first one who is not able to place a mat on the table! Of course,’ he added, ‘the mats must not overlap each other, or fall off the edge of the table.’
The beer mats were all circular and identical in size, and the table top was a rectangle.
How did Gary plan to win this game?
