SIX MARBLES
Set six marbles in a row, quite close together, at the end of a table. And then give a friend a seventh marble, and ask him to throw this at the six marbles so that he knocks them all off the table at once. He’ll try and find it is quite impossible to knock off more than two, or, with luck, three at a time. But then you can tell him it is possible, and you show him how. Place a pencil along the front of the six marbles, aim the seventh marble at the pencil, and it will knock all six marbles off the table at once!
