Re: Brain Teaser of the week!
Here's a pretty hard one.
In a far away land, it was known that if you drank acid, the only way to save yourself is to drink a stronger acid, which neutralizes the weaker acid. Reach, who ruled the land wanted to make sure that he possessed the strongest acid in the kingdom, in order to ensure his survival, in any situation. So Reach called the kingdom's pharmacist and the kingdom's treasurer, he gave each a week to make the strongest acid. Then, each would drink the other one's acid, then his own, and the one that will survive, will be the one that had the stronger acid.
The pharmacist went straight to work, but the treasurer knew he had no chance, for the pharmacist was much more experienced in this field, so instead, he made up a plan to survive and make sure the pharmacist dies. On the last day the pharmacist suddenly realized that the treasurer would know he had no chance, so he must have a plan. After a little thought, the pharmacist realized what the treasurer's plan must be, and he concocted a counter plan, to make sure he survives and the treasurer dies. When the time came, Reach summoned both of them. They drank the acids as planned, and the treasurer died, the pharmacist survived, and Reach didn't get what he wanted.
