What is the minimum number of moves to solve this puzzle.

[Killerconvic]

push them all off the table

[polarbird111]

you take the second glass and pour it into the 5th glass?

[Trifang]

Toss them at polarbird and sees how, "polarish" she is...

[BubbaMurphy]

You could drink all the glasses that arn't empty.

polarbird got it right, and now I've pulled myself out of the pit that is poverty, so I'll be giving a prize to the person with the highest score after the 30th Riddle Thing.

Fifteenth Riddle Thing: If you put a small coin into a an empty wine bottle and replace the cork, how would you get the coin out of the bottle without taking out the cork or breaking the bottle?

[Neraphym]

Push the cork into the bottle, then turn it upside down.


Edit:

[BubbaMurphy]

You would just turn it upsidedown because if the coin was really small it would be smaller than the cork.

[polarbird111]

You cut a coin sized slot in the cork?

[Unrealblight]

take out the cork and dont replace it ...mabey you never know

[Killerconvic]

you fill it with water, then pull the coin out.

alpha is right, stop spamming.

Sixteenth Riddle Thing: You are the treasurer in charge of the Royal mint, which produces a single type coin, the grote. There are ten machines producing grotes, one machine is producing grotes weighing one gram less than they should, each coin should weigh 10 grams. You have a set of broken scales which can be fixed to provide one single weigh of a single amount (no weight changes are allowed). Using the scales once you must identify the single faulty machine.

How do you do it?
