Riddle No.8

Published by natnat at 2:21 pm under Riddles, Home, Fun Things

 Hi everybody!

Congratulations to Momtahina, Nadine and Norma who all got it right! The answer was that it was the maid because there is no post on Sundays. Although there is post on Sunday’s in Australia. Here comes the next riddle: 

Suppose you want to send in the mail a valuable object to a friend. You have a box which is big enough to hold the object. The box has a locking ring which is large enough to have a lock attached and you have several locks with keys. However, your friend does not have the key to any lock that you have. You cannot send the key in an unlocked box since it may be stolen or copied. How do you send the valuable object, locked, to your friend - so it may be opened by your friend?

Hope it’s not too hard or not too easy! Good luck :)

    I will attach my lock to the box and send it to friend without any keys. Then he will attach his lock - whose keys he already have - and send that back to me. I will remove my lock. The box still has my friends lock. I’ll send the box back which can now be opened as my friend have the keys
