Problem
Old Cap’n Bloodhook, the captain of The Black Pawkeet, needed to pack away some of his hoarded dubloons. “I’ll tell you what,” he said, “if ye can help me figure out how many dubloons can fit into this tray, I’ll be givin’ ye a reward!”
So the tray is perfectly square, and just big enough to fit 10 dubloons along one side.
So, without overlapping any dubloons, what is the maximum number of dubloons that can fit in the tray?
Solution
Anyone who had heard of multiplication shouldn’t have a problem with this one. I’m thinking they make this to give the younger players a chance of winning.
Edit
Heh, heh, in my rush, I forgot about the extra spaces between the dubloon that can be used to stack extra ones in. Oh well, next LC then.

Wow, I’ve never seen they use this type of image before. Unless there’s a similar image outhere somewhere, this is it.

I really don’t know if I should write a lenny post at all, given the very detailed explanation in the forum. So I’ll stick to conundrums that are not already explained from now on. *point to Lenny Forum link*
