Here is another brainteaser from pioneer days.
You’ll need:
a block of wood 4 inches long and 1 inch wide
drill
a piece of heavy cord 12 inches long
1. Drill two 3/8-inch holes in the piece of wood, one at each end.
2. Fold the cord in half to make a loop. Thread the loop through one hole, and then run the ends through the loop and through the other hole.
3. Tie a tight knot in the ends of the cord.
4. The object is to remove the cord from the block without untying the knot.
