This is a tricky puzzle that tests your power to think laterally. Logical thinking tends to plod along one step at a time from basic premises to an inevitable conclusion, but lateral thinking delights in tricky maneuvers that keep you on your toes. In this case the puzzle seems simple enough. All you do is take a piece of stiff card and cut out whole the size of a small coin ( such as a penny ). Then take a larger coin ( such as a quarter ) and push it through the hole. You can handle the card and the coin as much as you like but you mustn't bend or tear the card. This puzzle will not repay a persistent, painstaking approach. You will either see the answer in a flash and laugh out loud at it, or probably won't get it at all ( but that won't prevent you trying it out on another innocent victim).
Me, myself, & I

When beading and finding yourself 'stuck' and in need of a break try this! It is a fun way to stop - regroup and continue with a fresh perspective. We will post the answer later tonight.
Enjoy the puzzle
