You've got someone working for you for seven days and a gold
bar to pay them. The gold bar is segmented into seven
connected pieces. You must give them a piece of gold at the
end of every day. If you are only allowed to make two breaks
in the gold bar, how do you pay your worker?

Answer Posted / john

Take the gold bar to the bank & ask them to exchange it for
at least seven pieces of gold (the question only states
that you have the bar to pay them with, not that you have
to pay them the whole bar). Use these to pay the worker &
keep any change for your local landlord.
